MultiLiLiTrans – Literary Multilingualism and Social Change


About MultiLiLiTrans

Many structures of European societies follow a monolingual paradigm, which does not reflect their multilingualism and superdiversity.  

Through the academic lens of literary multilingualism and broadening its application to characterise societies and understand societal challenges, this COST Action MultiLiLiTrans fills this gap. Enhancing academic and societal awareness of the importance and impact of multilingualism in our societies equals fostering social, cultural, scientific, and economic equality and fairness and preventing marginalisation, racism, and unequal access to societal infrastructures. 

The COST Action ‘Literary multilingualism and social transformations in superdiverse societies’ (MultiLiLiTrans) formed an innovative and robust network between academia, practitioners in education and artistic communities, with the core aim of mainstreaming multilingualism in all its diverse aspects in European contexts and beyond.
