With the Charter for Regional or Minority Language (Council of Europe, 1992) although Europe appears to be a leader in linguistic equality, why do many inequalities remain?

Professor Kibbee is a world expert on the relationship between language and law and questions of linguistic rights and inequality. This lecture is hosted by the School of Cultures, Languages and Area Studies, in partnership with Multlingualism: Empowering Individuals, Transforming Societies project.
