The first International Conference on Globalisation/Deglobalisation in Languages, Education, Culture and Communication (GLECC2025) is going to be held 30-31 July, 2025, Manchester, UK., with pre-conference workshops on 29th July and post-conference cultural visits on 1 August.

The past two decades have witnessed remarkable advancements in the studies into Education, Second and Foreign Languages, Translation and Interpreting, Cultural Studies, and Communication. This growth, evident in both the number of active researchers and the volume of scholarly throughput and outcomes, can be largely attributed to the forces of globalisation. Consequently, adopting the globalisation perspective is timely and provides a natural framework for connecting these diverse yet interlinked disciplines.

GLECC2025 aims to bring together researchers, educators, practitioners, and policymakers from the realms of education, foreign and second languages, cultural studies, translation, interpreting, and communication to disseminate research outcomes, share insights, discuss findings, exchange visions, and identify challenges and trends in an interactive and immersive multidisciplinary environment.

This conference, notwithstanding the dissemination of works within individual and traditional discipline specified scopes, endeavours to break the subject silos. Papers and other contributions in Education, Second and Foreign Languages, Translation and Interpreting, Cultural Studies, or Communication, as well as contributions crossing the borders of traditional disciplines or emerged from frontier research, are welcome.

The conference is organised by AT Publishing in association with its three journals namely, Research in Education Curriculum and Pedagogy: Global Perspectives (RECAP) [ISSN: 2977-1633]; New Perspectives on Languages (NPL) [ISSN: 3033-490X] and The International Journal of Chinese and English Translation & Interpreting (IJCETI) [ISSN: 2753-6149]. There is a “conference first” policy in place. Selected papers will be invited to further develop into full journal articles free of APCs.

Conference proceedings will be published open access with an ISBN.
