We also live in a world of profound social changes, armed conflicts, and geopolitical alignments. What is the role of Cultures and Languages Across the Curriculum (CLAC) in this changing world? To recognize and address these issues and simultaneously celebrate more than 30 years of the CLAC movement, we will host a conference with the theme “Cultures and Languages in a Changing World.” The conference seeks to encourage reflections on how CLAC is responding to our current times, taking stock of CLAC’s history, and asking what the movement will look like in the coming years.
Cultures and Languages Across the Curriculum (CLAC) is a curricular framework that provides opportunities to develop and apply language and intercultural competence within all academic disciplines through the use of multilingual resources and the inclusion of multiple cultural perspectives (https://clacconsortium.org/about-2/defining-clac/).The CLAC Conference Committee invites proposals that address topics such as:- Understanding global challenges through CLAC
