Linguistic Injustice and Inequality in the Public Domain
Most of the world is multilingual. Despite this, in most countries a monolingual bias still persists, meaning that monolingualism is often viewed as the norm and the most efficient service method. However, because of monolingual language laws, many individuals and communities face significant challenges in accessing resources and services. This is the case across a range of domains, including education, health and care, political life, the criminal legal system, and the labour market. Bringing together interdisciplinary experts and focussing on linguistic justice and inequality, this conference will examine how individuals and communities experience discrimination due to their language use. This conference will also explore the practical steps that must be taken to move towards linguistic justice and the provision of fair systems and services in the public domain.
