Join us online for our Distinguished Speaker series where we’ll hear from Professor Alison Phipps, UNESCO Chair at the University of Glasgow who will discuss the Languages of Crises.
Alison will share the work of key research projects which have focused on the languages of crises examining what it is that researching multilingually can bring to understanding contexts as diverse as law, mental health and trauma, bombing raids and siege and the multiple ways in which people in crisis seek asylum.
There will also be a brief introduction to the latest short course hosted by the OU's Open Centre for Languages and Cultures: The Languages of Crises.
