The theme of this 9th edition of the conference in London is ‘Language, inequality and the everyday (un)making of alliances’. It follows a series of global crises epitomised by moments of spectacular disruption such as the so-called ‘2008 economic crisis’ or the ‘COVID-19 pandemic’.

The conference offers opportunities to exchange knowledge around ethnography, language and communication. For further info click here
