English in the World 1: From the Outside

English in the World 1: From the Outside brought together 35 colleagues to look at what we do and how we do it from different perspectives outside the field. During a series of panel discussions, we explored common ground and identified some challenges of working together. We learned from existing partnerships and explored collaborative opportunities for the future.
