We are pleased to announce a new Digital Modern Languages seminar series, bringing together research and teaching in Modern Languages which engages with digital culture, media and technologies. The series is aimed at raising the visibility of digital research and teaching in Modern Languages in the UK, and will include speakers who represent a diverse range of areas of study and languages of specialism.

This series is launched as part of the AHRC-funded Open World Research Initiative, and is supported by the Cross-Language Dynamics: Reshaping Community and Language Acts and Worldmaking projects, and by the AHRC Leadership Fellow for Modern Languages (Janice Carruthers). The series is convened by Paul Spence (King's College London) and Naomi Wells (Institute of Modern Languages Research).

The series will be launched on Tuesday 21 May with a seminar on 'Points of Intersection: Digital Modern Languages' by Professor Claire Taylor (University of Liverpool). The seminar will take place at Bush House Lecture Theatre 2 BH(S) 4.04 (King's College London) - entrance via Kingsway - between 6 to 8pm, and includes a drinks reception. Attendance is free of charge but please register in advance at: https://modernlanguages.sas.ac.uk/events/event/19629.
