What does it mean to enter a classroom filled with plurilingual students in a rapidly
changing landscape marked by sovranism and the return of ideologies of
monolingualism?\u00a0
<\/b>Who gets \u2018heard\u2019 and who doesn\u2019t when multiple languages are present in our teaching, learning, and research spaces?
How do our training practices need to change so the next generation of teachers and researchers are more open and attentive to multilingual practices?
And how can our research and teaching practices support linguistic and cultural diversity, among myths of homogenization, now reinforced by the idea that AI will make \u2018perfect\u2019 translation\/interpretation instantaneous and human mediation obsolete?
These are some of the topics addressed, drawing examples from a variety of social and educational contexts, including Italy, the UK, the US, and Namibia.<\/p>\n
