Working Lab: Linguistic Discrimination in Higher Education and the Work Sphere
This colloquium focuses on the socially and economically constructed value of languages and
the consequences of such value attributions — particularly linguistic discrimination — in higher
education and the labour market (professional and academic contexts). We invite contributions
that explore how language ideologies, policies, and practices affect individuals and institutions,
as well as contributions that investigate how linguistic diversity is negotiated, managed, or
contested in academic and professional settings. We are very happy to have the following
invited speakers with us: Prof. Stephen May (University of Auckland, New Zealand), Dr. Mi
Yung Park (University of Auckland, New Zealand) and Dr. Stephen Lucek (University College
Dublin, Ireland).
