Advanced Studies in Sociolinguistic Approaches to Bi- and Multilingualism
The course aims at providing deepened and extended cross-disciplinary knowledge in bi- and multilingualism research.
It engages further with established and new approaches developed within fields such as critical sociolinguistics, qualitative sociology, linguistic anthropology and ethnography, tapping into issues of politics, power, inequalities, and diversities in a globalizing world.
Centering on notions such as language ideologies, translingual practices, repertoires, reflexivity, performance, and indexicality, the course provides you with the opportunity to further develop your research skills in evaluating and critiquing research and in carrying out small sociolinguistic research projects.
