With this conference, we aim to contribute to the sharing and spreading of research on issues relating to linguistic dominance and inequality\u00a0in an effort to better understand and counteract existing negative effects. In multilingual societies, different languages and different codes within languages are required in different contexts. Speakers who have no or limited command of the prevalent codes in various official or informal situations risk being excluded from participation, performing at a lower level or having more limited access than speakers who are more proficient in the required language(s) or codes.<\/p>\n
Many societies today are increasingly multilingual and more knowledge about multilingual urban areas is needed to contribute to sustainable societal development, counteract exclusion and alienation, and encourage democratic engagement. Widening participation is necessary to make higher education institutions reflect the population at large and create quality in higher education through diversity, and issues of how linguistic dominance and inequality may affect access to and achievement in higher education are therefore highly relevant. In a globalized world, local languages are \u2018competing\u2019 with English in both academic and corporate contexts, and this situation can affect communicative quality and equality and may influence the future development of local languages.<\/p>\n
