The Academy for Multilingualism invites papers for the upcoming Third International Translanguaging Symposium in the Global South from 26 to 28 March 2024. 

This symposium in the Global South aims to provide a space for international, continental, and national scholars, academics, practitioners, researchers, and postgraduate students with a kin interest in translanguaging to share their high-quality research and reflect on the critique, contradictions, challenges, complexities, and opportunities proffered by translanguaging.

  • Translanguaging and Ubuntu Translanguaging Pedagogies
  • Translanguaging and Decoloniality
