OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
This talk explores translanguaging and trans-knowledging as tools for decolonising education. Together, they challenge Eurocentric frameworks and recognise the importance of local languages and knowledge, particularly in multilingual contexts of the Global South. Drawing on existing literature on EMI policies and practices, this talk discusses translanguaging as both a pedagogical and ideological framework and explores its potential in a) disrupting the monolingual (English-only) ideology; b) facilitating trans-knowledging processes and intercultural competence; and c) reshaping communication and knowledge sharing in the times of AI.
