Description

Language-920x400

With the Charter for Regional or Minority Language (Council of Europe, 1992) although Europe appears to be a leader in linguistic equality, why do many inequalities remain?

Join us to hear more about this subject, in the latest lecture by our Leverhulme Trust Visiting Professor, Professor Doug Kibbee (Emeritus, University of Illinois).

Professor Kibbee is a world expert on the relationship between language and law and questions of linguistic rights and inequality. This lecture is hosted by the School of Cultures, Languages and Area Studies, in partnership with Multlingualism: Empowering Individuals, Transforming Societies project.

This event takes place from 5pm, Tuesday 16 April 2019 at C14, Teaching and Learning Building, University Park.

This is a free event, open to all. No booking required.
