CIP symposium 2026
Inclusion through linguistic and cultural diversity: opportunities and challenges
CIP will host its annual symposium on Friday, 6 November 2026.
Abstract
Like many other universities, the University of Copenhagen has recently made “diversity, equity and inclusion” (DEI) a strategic priority.
While the increased focus on DEI at universities helps foreground important questions about who can participate in academic practices, the significance of linguistic and cultural resources in shaping such participation often remains backgrounded.
Serving as a platform for discussion of these issues, this year’s CIP Symposium focuses on the role of language policy in supporting linguistic and cultural diversity at the university.
- How are the notions of “diversity, equity and inclusion” understood and experienced in everyday practices at the university?
- To what extent do teaching and research practices create, or foreclose, opportunities for valuing linguistic and cultural diversity?
- What provisions do language policies make to support participation in everyday practices at the university?
- Can AI be used in meaningful ways to overcome some of the challenges involved in linguistic diversity or is it a dead end?
Please join us as we discuss these (and other) questions, with contributions from students, teachers, and researchers from Denmark and abroad.
