Language, Culture & Translation Prof. Jieun Kiaer, University of Oxford This workshop explores the evolving intersection of AI linguistics, cultural studies, and translation, focusing on how artificial intelligence is transforming the way we understand and use language. Participants will develop hands-on skills while engaging in discussions on AI-driven pedagogy, ethics, and the role of AI in shaping linguistic and cultural identities. We will examine how AI reshapes translation, multilingual communication, and learning methodologies in an increasingly digital world.
