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

The LiDS Research Centre (Faculty of Education) and the CODILAC Project (Faculty of Humanities) cordially invite you to the lecture series "Everyday Multilingualism" this summer semester! The ongoing lecture series 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 within their lectures. Through a panel discussion this series will conclude with a critical consideration of the role of research in examining everyday multilingualism around the world and its impact on individual and groups of language users.

Under joint organization, the LiDS Research Centre and the CODILAC project warmly welcome you to attend the current lecture series!

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.
