We are delighted to welcome Dr. Katerina Strani, Assistant Professor at the Department of Languages and Intercultural Studies (LINCS) at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh. Her presentation is entitled ‘Multilingual democracies’. She will focus on theoretical explorations of multilingualism in argumentation and in the construction of politics.
