This two-day, exploratory seminar finally took place on 7th and 8th July in the School of Education at the University of Durham. It was, in keeping with the ‘exploratory’ character of the discussions, a small event. Here is a list of participants and their contact emails.

Here is an email message I sent to all LTE’s doctoral students recently to find out more about the multilingual possibilities and actualities of their research.

For example, a […]
