This webinar, hosted by the University of Iowa (UI) and the University of Dar es Salaam, will invite panelists to share knowledge and experience on language justice. Language justice is a concept that encompasses the fair and equitable treatment of all languages and linguistic communities, ensuring that individuals and groups have equal opportunities to communicate, participate, and access services in their preferred language(s). It is rooted in the principles of linguistic diversity, inclusion, and the recognition of the importance of language in shaping individual and collective identity.
Speakers from the University of Dar es Salaam and the University of Iowa will address key aspects of language justice, such as language equality, access to services, cultural preservation, inclusivity, eliminating language barriers, and promoting multilingualism.
This event follows the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the two universities which will lead to further collaboration.

The Gilman Scholarship aims to support those who have been underrepresented in study abroad and encourage students to choose nontraditional study locations. Scholarships are awarded to U.S. citizen undergraduates who receive the Federal Pell Grant and are pursuing academic, credit-bearing, study abroad programs. The Gilman Scholarship enables students to gain proficiency in diverse languages and cultures - skills that are critically important to thrive in the global economy.
