Language Diversity
| Hamburg International Summer School will take place from 11 July to 5 August 2022.
The specialized programs Health Economics and Particles, Strings & Cosmology are currently planned as in-person events. The specialized program Language Diversity is going to take place online. |
Linguistic (as well as cultural and social) diversity are basic characteristics of today's societies. Their causes include, among others, increasing migration, globalisation, new technical possibilities of communication, and interactions across traditional borders. Using three nations with significant migration – Australia, China and Germany - as examples, we will explore how increasing diversity affects education and social participation, and what policies and discourses have been developed in response to linguistic diversity. Despite their different socio-political traditions in dealing with migration, the challenges and responses to linguistic diversity in the three countries share many similarities. Central among these is that linguistic diversity continues to be a central factor in social exclusion in the three countries.
The online Summer School program includes supplementary program, focusing on German language course and some extracurricular activities.
