Abstract

1. Introduction
The BAAL-CUP seminar ‘Researching vulnerable multilinguals: Developing an inclusive research practice’ was organised by Dr. Alexandra Georgiou, University of West London and Dr. Sara Ganassin, Newcastle University. It brought together 25 academics from different fields (e.g., applied linguistics, intercultural communication, education, linguistics) who engaged in discussions about the theoretical and methodological challenges they face in their work.
The seminar organisers are members of BAAL Multilingualism Special Interest Group (SIG), which aims to develop a broad-based community of researchers in applied and sociolinguistics with expertise in multilingualism and linguistic diversity. The BAAL-CUP seminar builds on a previous event organised by the SIG in June 2021, ‘Success stories of refugees in Europe: Celebrating the contributions of children and highly skilled adults’. The 2021 event aimed to promote the linguistic and cultural contributions of refugees in Europe with a focus on social, educational, and professional inclusion. After its successful completion, we thought that an in-person event that further explores issues of multilingualism and vulnerability through the lens of ‘researching multilingually’ would be beneficial to early career researchers, including postgraduate students and established academics from different disciplines.
