Abstract
This chapter explores links between International Relations (IR) and Peace & Conflict Studies (PCS) on the one hand, and linguistic ethnography and sociolinguistics on the other. In doing so, it focuses on the role of language and language education in peace-building in Cyprus, a country riven by a legacy of war and separation. The chapter’s authors are ethnographic sociolinguists who seek to engage with the interest in the ‘everyday’ that is currently emerging in Critical International Relations, Critical Security Studies and Peace & Conflict Studies (see Mc Cluskey, 2017 for a bibliography), and their goals here are threefold: to illustrate the perspective on everyday practice provided by linguistic ethnography; to start to address the role that language and language education can play in peace-building; and to reflect on whether and how our findings and methods can contribute to significant concerns in critical IR.
