Complementing the themes in the exhibition Bharti Kher: In Her Own Language, Sana Bharadwaj, PhD Candidate in Linguistics who was herself born in the Indian State of Maharashtra, will reflect on how language, culture and identity interact in the sociolinguistics of the Indian diaspora in Australia.
This is a Campus Partnership event, introduced by Dr Celeste RodrÃguez Louro, Lecturer in Linguistics at UWA.
The last decade has witnessed a growing interest in documenting language variation and change in the Indian diaspora in locales as varied as the United Kingdom, South Africa and New Zealand. However, the language situation of the Indian diaspora in Australia, one of the largest groups of Asian migrants to the country, remains virtually unexplored.
In this presentation, Sana will reflect on stories of migration from the Indian community in Australia, and explore how linguistic and cultural heritage interact with transnational ties and language ideologies to shape migrants’ linguistic behaviour and ethnic identity in the context of a rapidly changing, globalised world.
