About the Conference/Seminar/Journal/Book

“Language is one of the most powerful tools we have to shape reality.” This conference invites educators, researchers, and practitioners to explore how language intersects with education, identity, and culture in multilingual, multicultural contexts. Drawing on Paulo Freire’s vision of education as a site for inquiry and transformation, we examine how language both reflects and reshapes social realities.

Children begin meaning-making through language even before entering school. NEP 2020 highlights the importance of the mother tongue in early education. Yet, as learners progress, they navigate multiple discourses through textbooks, digital media, and cultural texts, which shape their identities and perceptions.

It invites critical discussions on how language curricula represent (or misrepresent) marginalised communities, including trans, non-binary, Dalit, indigenous, and differently abled individuals. Literature, media, and memes not only teach language but also build or challenge societal norms.
