Cross-Language Dynamics
The AHRC-funded Open World Research Initative intends to explore and foreground the central role that languages play in relation to key historical and contemporary issues, such as social cohesion, migration, health, business and diplomacy. The initiative seeks to have a significant impact on the study of modern languages in the UK. See more about the Institute of Modern Languages Research's Translingual Strand below:
