[Spence, Paul]

Dear colleagues

I'm happy to announce that we have just published our report on the Disrupting Digital Monolingualism workshop event which was held last year:

Subtitled 'A report on multilingualism in digital theory and practice', it summarises and analyses this virtual event which aimed to map the current state of multilingualism in digital theory and practice through, and across, languages and cultures. In recent years, various initiatives have aimed to address the challenges for digital linguistic diversity, including work on biocultural diversity, endangered languages, digital cultural studies, multilingual language technologies and global perspectives on digital humanities. This workshop aimed to strengthen connections between numerous overlapping digital and languages-driven conversations and initiatives.

The report may interest those working on the following themes:

1. Linguistic and geocultural diversity in digital knowledge infrastructures
2. Working with multilingual methods and data
3. Transcultural and translingual approaches to digital study
4. Artificial intelligence, machine learning and NLP in language worlds

The workshop was hosted by the Language Acts & Worldmaking project with the support of the Cross-Language Dynamics: Reshaping Community project, both projects funded by the AHRC as part of its Open World Research Initiative.

Best wishes
Paul
