Rhizomes VI seeks to bring together alternative perspectives to
promote diversity in the study of languages and cultures. It is an
opportunity for scholars with an interest in other languages, other
texts, other mediums, other voices, other cultures, other ways and
the Other (whatever, whoever and wherever that may be) to engage with
peers and share their work in a friendly, interdisciplinary
environment.
We are now inviting submissions for individual and panel
presentations. Each speaker will be allocated 20 minutes to present
and 10 minutes to respond to questions. Submissions from early career
