Language@Leeds is an interdisciplinary network for language research and scholarship encompassing expertise from the arts and humanities, social sciences, computing and engineering.
We work to maximise the positive impact of language research on society. Our collective aims include reducing inequities through education, making language more accessible, building more inclusive societies, enhancing cross-cultural communication, and optimising language education.
Collaboration is essential to achieve these aims. We connect individuals, communities and organizations on local, national and international levels.
