The Second International Conference on Multicultural Discourses remains committed to the original aims, namely, to facilitate cultural harmony and prosperity on the one hand and on the other hand to undermine cultural domination and exclusion.

The conference topics include but are not restricted by the following:
* concepts and theories of language/communication/discourse outside the dominant paradigms, as well as the related research and teaching traditions;
* intercultural dialogue, postcolonial critique and cross-cultural fertilisation in discourse/language/communication studies;
* globalisation of non-western intellectual heritages; discourses that reflect the realities, issues, concerns and aspirations of marginalised or otherwise troubled groups and communities;
* new or alternative discourses of cultural cohesion and progress;
* rules and needs for conducting intercultural and international communication;
* localization of English as international language

Thus we encourage scholars and students from across the world and with different disciplinary backgrounds to participate in this emerging and growing project of cultural-politics through language/communication/discourse/cultural research.
