This workshop will focus on the various definitions of multilingualism and on notions of
displacement, with particular reference to exile and nostalgia from a transnational perspective. The event, co-organised by Dr. Bianca Cataldi (UCD Humanities Institute TNH Research Project Lead) and Dr. Till Greite (UCD Humanities Institute Visiting Fellow) will be divided into two parts: a panel with 15-20 min presentations for each speaker and, after a coffee break, a roundtable with discussion.
The speakers will be experts from different fields of Modern Languages, History and Linguistics, including Prof. Michael Cronin (TCD), Prof. Esther Kilchmann (Universität Hamburg) and Prof. Steffan Davies (University of Bristol).
Following the event, participants are invited to visit our HI exhibition: “Landings: Art after Extractivism” | UCD Humanities Institute Seminar Room (H204)
