BALEAP 2023 conference

Welcome to BALEAP 2023 - Caution! EAP under DEconstruction
Our hope with this conference is that we encourage a critical look at every aspect of EAP. We hope that the community will feel bold and brave enough to challenge the status quo, offering ideas, opinions, research, practices, and suggestions that can take the field in new directions.
We have a range of formats that afford greater participation. We hope to hear new voices, offering perspectives on how we might break with tradition and disrupt norms. We encourage you to get involved and share your visions of how the field might be dismantled and reconstructed.

Sanchia Rodrigues is a Teaching Fellow in EAP at the University of Warwick and a PhD student at the UCL Institute of Education. Since 2014, she has worked with postgraduate, undergraduate and pre-undergraduate students of the mathematical sciences both in the UK and overseas. Her doctoral research is focused on hierarchies of language and race in summer pre-sessional contexts, which reflects her wider interests in identifying and displacing coloniality in EAP.
