Objectives

The ICGLE seeks to explore issues related to gender equality and diversity in language and education. Over the course of the conference, one of the primary aims will be to move beyond discussion towards a collaborative call to action to address systemic inequalities, particularly in the Asian context, engaging with and addressing contemporary debates about gender inequalities in the region. This will serve as a platform for knowledge transfer and capacity-building to facilitate multi-disciplinary studies of gender.
