The Multilingual Mind: Lecture series on multilingualism across disciplines

 

The lecture series ‘The Multilingual Mind’ started in November 2021 and ran until February 2022. The lectures took place every Tuesday from 17.00 until 18.30 (CET/UTC+01). The lecture series was organised by the Department of Linguistics and Centre for Multilingualism at the University of Konstanz and the Multilingual Mind project. This semester the lectures were hosted by the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Jagiellonian University, University of Konstanz, University Milano-Bicocca, and University of Reading. As in the previous semesters, the speakers presented research findings on multilingualism across different disciplines, in line with the MultiMind project (linguistics, education, psychology, neuroscience, speech & language pathology). The lecture series was aimed at everyone interested in Multilingualism.
