Social Dynamics in Linguistically Diverse Communities
In summer 2024, I helped Linhao Chen, a visiting PhD candidate (philosophy) from South China Normal University, secure funding from the China Scholarship Council. Supported by the scholarship, Linhao moved to Hull in October 2024 to spend a year with me and Dr Dionysios Demetis (Hull University Business School).
We are investigating equality issues in linguistically diverse communities. I taught Linhao the Python programming language and guided him as he coded Schelling's model of segregation. He is now modifying the model to incorporate linguistic dimensions into the social dynamics described by the model.
