Our exciting seminar series has started with Dr Xolisa Guzula presenting the captivating talk on Disrupting Kolonilingo-normativity and the politics of publishing children’s literature in African languages on Monday, the 5th August during meridian. 

This seminar addressed how African languages have been marginalized in education, through language policies that have been shaped by colonial language ideologies such as Kolonilingo-normativity (Guzula &Tyler 2024), Anglonormativity (McKinney, 2017) and monoglossic ideologies (Makoe & McKinney 2014).

The next seminar, part of this series, will take place on Monday the 26th August 2024 by Dr Cletus Muluh. The details for the seminar will be announced on our event page.
