CID Poster #10: Multiculturalism vs. Social Cohesion (reprise)

CID Posters(We are reprising the series of posters, because it has been several years since they were originally created, and they are much too wonderful to let them not be noticed by newcomers to the site!)

This is a bonus poster, designed by Linda J. de Wit even though she has completed her time as CID intern. This is the second poster to use the Key Concepts in Intercultural Dialogue as the source. The content here combines KC19: Multiculturalism by Polina Golovátina-Mora and Raúl Alberto Mora with KC79: Social Cohesion by Narine Nora Kerelian and Gizem Arat.

CID Poster #10: Multiculturalism vs Social CohesionJust in case anyone wants to cite this poster, the following would be the recommended format:

Center for Intercultural Dialogue. (2017). Multiculturalism vs. Social Cohesion. CID Posters, 10. Available from:
https://centerforinterculturaldialogue.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/multiculturalism-social-cohesion.png

As with other series, CID Posters are available for free on the site; just click on the thumbnail to download a printable PDF. They may be downloaded, printed, and shared as is, without changes, without cost, so long as there is acknowledgment of the source.

As with other series, if you wish to contribute an original contribution, please send an email before starting any work to receive approval, to minimize inadvertent duplication, and to learn about technical requirements. As is the case with other CID Publications, posters should be created initially in English. Given that translations of the Key Concepts in Intercultural Dialogue have received so many views, anyone who wishes to translate their own poster into another language (or two) is invited to provide that as well. If you want to volunteer to translate someone else’s poster into a language in which you are fluent, send in a note before starting, to receive approval and to confirm no one else is working on the same one.

CFP BAAL 2022: Innovation and Social Justice in Applied Linguistics (N Ireland & Online)

ConferencesCall for papers: British Association of Applied Linguistics: Innovation and Social Justice in Applied Linguistics, 1-3 September 2022, Queen’s University, Belfast, Northern Ireland (Hybrid format). Deadline: 31 March, 2022.

BAAL 2022 will be hosted by Queen’s University in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The conference’s theme Innovation and Social Justice in Applied Linguistics reflects an increasing interest in research that responds to real-world concerns within and beyond the field. In the face of a global health crisis and rising socio-racial awareness, this theme invites discussions around innovative and socially just practices in a field that is experiencing the multilingual, spatial, and social justice turn all at once. The current times are transformative and organizers hope that the conference theme will enable proposals from across disciplines and sub-disciplines of applied linguistics to stimulate conversations about the field’s responses to global turbulence and shifts. They also invite proposals to generate meaningful dialogue around current issues in language research.

The current plan is to hold the conference in-person with limited virtual options for participation. They will monitor the situation closely and reassess the situation in March 2022 and make a final decision as to whether the conference will be held in person or if it will have to move to an online format.
