Our Activities

Our Mission

The Centre for Multilingualism with English (CME) is a London based, though not only London focused, centre that aims to decolonize research and practices in Multilingualism with English, through the lens of social justice. Multilingualism with English (MwE) itself refers to multilingualism in which English is one of the languages available to users regardless of whether it is or is not used on any specific occasion. Accordingly, MwE settings are characterised by interactions among multilinguals who have English within their repertoire.

Our mission is to provide a forum for the dissemination, discussion and development of interdisciplinary research and practices related to Multilingualism with English, focusing on public engagement and community-oriented collaboration.
