**Kazakhstan programme open seminar series**

The seminar series ‘Internationalisation and Educational Reform in Eastern European and the Commonwealth of Independent States’ is organised by the Kazakhstan programme research team as a platform for analysis, discussion and critique of the recent educational reforms in the Newly Independent nations of the former Soviet Union and its satellite states. From a variety of theoretical and methodological perspectives the questions that we invite us all to explore are:
– the Russian/Soviet inheritance and how this continues to shape education policy and practice
– the relationship of educational reform to the development of post independence national identity
– the internationalisation of education reform, the global education space, policy ‘borrowing’ and the indigenisation of international practice.
All are welcome!

Researching Multilingually: Possibilities and Complexities May 21, 2015

Show notes

Presenting author: Dr Mariam Attia, Research Associate at Durham University, UK on behalf of the AHRC project team. With increased researcher mobility and wider access to information, academic institutions within the UK are experiencing internationalisation processes reflected – among other things – in the surging numbers of researchers conducing research in more than one language (Robinson-Pant, 2009). This presentation draws on two AHRC projects: Researching Multilingually (November 2011 – December 2012) and Researching Multilingually at the Borders of Language, the Body, Law, and the State (April 2014 – March 2017). It focuses on 44 reflective pieces by researchers involved with the AHRC-funded network, and attempts to look into a) the development of researcher awareness about the possibilities and complexities of doing research in more than one language, b) the nature of such possibilities and complexities, and c) implications for researcher development. Researchers are also encouraged to engage with the website which we continue to develop as a knowledge resource flowing from the AHRC-funded project: http://www.researching-multilingually-at-borders.com/ Reference: Robinson-Pant, A. (2009) ‘Changing Academies: exploring international PhD students’ perspectives on ‘host’ and ‘home’ universities’, Higher Education Research and Development, 28(4), 417-429.
