• Cultural Literacy Our identities comprise different senses of belonging to different groups at different times.  These are the cultures of which we are all a part, and our world is one of many cultures.  The problem is that there is a real lack in our skills to read other cultures.  One result is that our newspapers, media and websites carry numeorus stories about hostility between people, breeding a cycle of fear, insecurity and ultimately violence and prejudice.  To overcome this, we need a new skill: cultural literacy.

• English in the Developing World In developmental contexts, we need to understand the tensions between the old models of power that saw  the imposition of English, the emerging dynamics created by globalisation and the complex factors that constitute people's choices.  This requires understanding the full implications of English provision across political, economic
  and socio-cultural spheres.  This project sets out to understand, and explore fully these complex relationships and identify the full potential  of the language in development. Researchers: Jamie Bartlett Peter Bradwell 3 BlogPosts 2 Bookmarks 11 Themes
