Round Table “Decolonization and linguistics – opportunities and challenges”
The Round Table seeks ways to advance our field in the global era, inspired by decolonial approaches and recognizing the historical base of linguistics as a modern science as well as historical and current inequalities of power within Europe and beyond. Pius Akumbu, Maria Mazzoli and Hanna-Máret Outakoski will discuss different opportunities and challenges related to decolonization and different forms of decolonial research, how knowledge production in linguistics is localized in different contexts and how it interacts with other knowledge systems and their views on language. Specific questions asked are: What is the role of decolonization for linguistic research? How do we advance our field by adding a decolonial perspective?
We invite SLE Conference Participants to join the Round Table discussion by sending questions or comments to https://padlet.com/SLE2024/round_table_decolonization_and_linguistics before or during the Round Table.
