Webinar Series: Conversations on Language Policy in Africa

with Djouroukoro Diallo

Publishing with Language Policy in Africa (LPIA) goes beyond simply making papers available. It also means engaging in conversation about these papers with the public. Our webinar series gives the authors of the journal an opportunity to present their work to an international audience of peers and colleagues interested in language issues at both academic and sociocultural levels. These webinars foster new synergies, inspire future project ideas, and encourage networking.

 

Sign up for the next webinar, by Dr. Menzi Thango on the 7th of November 2025. The webinar will take place at 4:00 pm CEST.
