This session brings together postgraduate researchers at LCS who are exploring multimodality from diverse theoretical and disciplinary perspectives. Each presenter will share a brief overview of their ongoing PhD projects and reflect on some of the questions or challenges they are currently facing. The audience is warmly invited to offer feedback, suggestions, and perspectives. Through this collective exchange, we aim to spark cross-disciplinary dialogue on how meaning-making resonates across words, images, sounds, bodies, and spaces.
