Lecture series "Everyday Multilingualism" starts on May 05: every Tuesday from 6-8pm in room 06, Von-Melle-Park 8 

The lecture series "Everyday multilingualism" explores linguistic diversity as a feature of all contemporary differentiated societies around the world. Dialects and standard languages, migrant and minority languages, different modalities and registers coalesce in public and private lives. On the one hand, diverse language users may experience barriers to participation in social institutions; on the other hand, multilingualism can be a great personal asset that enhances indiviudal wellbeing. This interdisciplinary lecture series examines different multilingual settings around the world, as well as the structures for dealing with multilingualism in those settings. Scholars representing the education and humanities faculties thereby investigate the consequences of multilingualism for individuals and society. This lecture series is co-organised by the LiDS Research Centre (Faculty of Education) and the CODILAC Project (Faculty of Humanities), University of Hamburg. 

The lecture series starts on May 05 2026 and takes place every Tuesday from 6-8 pm in room 06, Von-Melle-Park 8. For the exact dates and further information, see here: Flyer

The lectures will be held in English.
