Why is it important?
This research can raise awareness about multilingualism and how it can be enacted in university campuses. It can also inform university authorities about how English-only mindsets play against Australian universities' discourse in favor of diversity and multiculturalism.
Perspectives
This work aims to challenge Sydney universities' advocacy for multiculturalism by showing how the linguistic landscape of their campuses reflect a predominant English-only mindset.
