The Netherlands in international comparative perspectives
ABSTRACT
Derived from a comparative focus on the European Union and the English-dominant world of the UK, the USA, Canada, Australia, and South-Africa, five different perspectives will be offered on the proposed theme:
- Phenomenological perspectives: the public and political discourse on diversity
- Demolinguistic perspectives: collecting and analyzing empirical data on language diversity
- Educational perspectives: education in the national language and in languages other than the national language
- Economic perspectives: the economic value of multilingual education and the costs of a monolingual mindset
- Dutch abroad: the status of Nederlanders and Nederlands in English-dominant countries (focus on Australia)
PREPARATION
A concise electronic reading list will be sent to all participants in advance.
23 June 2017, 14.00-17.00.
