*Dr. Ana Tankosić* /Curtin University, Australia/ */Intersectionality in Translingual Spaces: Migrant Experiences from 'Down-Under'/* 📅 *May 12, 2025* 🕓 *2:00 PM – 3:00 PM (CEST)*
*Venue*: Online
*Attendees*: Secondary school teachers, researchers, language instructors
*Summary: *In spaces informed and characterised by Anglo-Western ideologies and discourses, migrants are exposed to overlapping forms of marginalisation where cultural and linguistic stereotypes coincide and blend with ethnic, racial, and gender stereotypes. In this presentation, I discuss how intersectionality is reflected in different forms of social stereotypes which attempt to subordinate, inferiorise, and judge translingual migrants in Australia. This discussion serves the purpose of uncovering underlying systemic and social disparities in Australia, as they are (in)advertently perpetuated and invigorated by a more dominant counterpart.
*Bio*: Dr Ana Tankosić is a research fellow and sessional academic at Curtin University, Australia. Her research focuses on sociolinguistics of globalisation, transcultural identities, and migration discourses. She is a former Fulbright Visiting Student Researcher at Penn State University. Her co-edited volume, Becoming a Linguist, is recently published with Routledge, while her collaborative monograph, Linguistic Racism, is currently in preparation.
