We are delighted to announce a call for abstracts for the upcoming International Association for Languages and Intercultural Communication (IALIC) 2025 hybrid conference in Auckland University of Technology (AUT), Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand, from 21st to 23rd of November 2025.

This conference aims to create a collaborative space for academics, students, practitioners, educators, artists, cultural leaders, activists, and policymakers, to co-create equitable futures rooted in diverse knowledge systems. By fostering an inclusive exchange of ideas, we seek to explore how the onto-epistemic turn in interculturality can lead to more equitable, sustainable, and culturally enriched futures, particularly in the context of Aotearoa and the broader global community. Whether you attend in person or virtually, this hybrid conference promises an enriching experience. Submit your abstract and be part of a transformative conversation that decentres current narratives and honours the wisdom of place and its peoples.

If you have not done it yet, become a member of the IALIC Association to get a reduced registration fee. Visit http://ialic.international/join-ialic/ and follow the instructions provided. Please, do not forget to fill out your membership form (online/Google Docs).
