To join the event, please contact the organiser, Alison Brady.
Professor O'Regan refers to his "Global English and Political Economy" (2021, Routledge) work and suggests that it is capital and its endless accumulation which make this dominance what it is.
This event will be particularly useful for those interested in English language, linguistics, philosophy of education, globalisation, Marxism and capitalism.
