All times are Pacific Time Zone (Vancouver, BC, Canada).
Part of Multilingual Week: Past Tense, Present Progressive, this round-table features three Graduate Writing Facilitators from the Student Learning Commons who are multilingual scholars in the fields of Education and Philosophy.
The focal questions are:
- Who gets to celebrate multilingualism at SFU?
- Where and when do we get to celebrate it?
In asking these questions, we are interested in examining how multilingualism is not currently experienced as a superpower in academic spaces. Further, we will discuss the systemic and structural changes that are needed if we want to embrace and celebrate multilingualism as a superpower, not just in our community spaces, but also in our classrooms.
The session will be 90 minutes total, with 45 minutes for the facilitated round-table discussion, 30 minutes for facilitated discussion and engagement with the audience, and 15 minutes for mingling and community
connection.
