Of Ethics and Multilingualism in Internationalising University Life

Activity: Talk or presentationInvited talk

Description

This dialogue will engage with thinking language differently and the potential for responding to social, linguistic, and epistemic difference in a way that might be more justifiably described as ethical and multilingual. It will be grounded by Levinas’ notion of ‘ethical events’, defined here as interactions involving that which is not-known, normative, or ordinarily visible, but for which all involved are called upon to take responsibility. Luke and Caroline will discuss how daily encounters across difference in university classrooms, administration offices, and social spaces point towards the challenges and potential for ethical becoming and improved sociality in an internationalising university.
