SGSC’s interdisciplinary Language, Culture & International Education researchers engage with critical perspectives on historical, social, political & educational challenges in local & global contexts.
Contributors to Language, Culture & International Education employ knowledge of language and culture to explore humanities and social science-related questions, including multilingualism, culture and identity, intercultural communication, education, language policy and planning, forensic linguistics, and translating and interpreting.
We engage systematically with pressing social and cultural issues using a range of established theories and approaches to provide a critical perspective that problematizes historical, social, political and educational questions.
