The words we use, the texts we read and the technologies we rely on shape - often invisibly - the way we see the world.
This is the starting point of "Dealing with Biases in Language and Culture: Interdisciplinary Perspectives", an international conference taking place from 1 to 3 September 2026 at the University of Pavia.
Organised within the Virtual Institute for Quality Education (VIQE) of the EC2U Alliance, the conference brings together an interdisciplinary dialogue spanning linguistics, psychology, social sciences, law and cultural studies.
More than forty researchers from across Europe will come together to explore the role of cultural, cognitive and linguistic biases in communication, education, professional practice and digital systems.
