Dear friends of the Princess Dashkova Russian Centre,

Having opened the year with Irina Sandomirskaja's insightful lecture about the Soviet restoration of Leningrad's palaces last week (the recording of which will shortly be available on our website), we are delighted to invite you to our next event this month - an international workshop about urban multilingualism in contemporary Moscow and Dushanbe, which will take place on Thursday, 28^th February, starting at 17.10 at the Princess Dashkova Russian Centre. 

Comprised of four twenty-minute presentations, the workshop will be opened by Julia Mazurova (Institute of Linguistics, Russian Academy of Sciences), who will explore the notion of Moscows urban multilingualism, followed by Polina Kliuchnikovas (University of Durham) presentation about the Russian language provision in Dushanbe as well as by Denis Zubalovs (Higher School of Economics, Moscow) paper examining language policies in Moscow, and concluded by Marina Raskladkina (Institute of Linguistics, Russian Academy of Sciences), who will elucidate educational experiences of migrant children at Moscows schools. The workshop will be summarised with a general discussion, chaired by Lara Ryazanova-Clarke (University of Edinburgh), followed by a wine reception. The event is free and open to all.   

For further information, please find the programme description attached in this email.

We very much look forward to seeing you at our workshop.

With best regards,

Alina
