Language, Culture and Society

In this area teaching and research focus on the interaction between culture, language and society. We also focus on individual, agency and society, including concepts of identity, and social action, social institutions, urban, rural and global societies. The institute offers students and researchers an innovative environment that also critically looks at academic and professional discourses, including context, structure, organisation, and purpose of academic texts, language and interaction, including critical analysis of language choices in diverse social and cultural contexts, intercultural communication, perspectives on research practice in multiple disciplines.
