Theme - Linguistic Landscapes, Cultural Climates Mazingira Ya Lugha, Hali Ya Hewa Ya Kitamaduni, the GLOCAL AFALA 2023 theme, symbolizes the complexity of inter-subjective identities throughout African (sib)urban centres. These complex climates offer a fertile ground for Linguistic Anthropological attention, for which scholars can draw from a range of pertinent fields, to study these geographic and cultural localities.
