2nd CFP:Language, Migration and Labour
AILA Research Network on Language and Migration, Institute of Multilingualism, University of Fribourg and HEP Fribourg, Switzerland
Date: 28-29 January 2010 (Thursday-Friday)
Topic of the Seminar
The fourth AILA Language and Migration Research Network Seminar focuses on the relationship between language, migration flows and labour processes. Our major concern is to explore the complex relationship between the economic and cultural capital of migrants and its use or exploitation by power institutions in a globalized labour market. We will focus on the role of language in access, selection, social mobility and gate-keeping processes.
