Leeds Voices Project

The Leeds Voices project, developed by the University of Leeds, applies two different areas of academic research – superdiversity and multimodality – at Kirkgate Market, United Kingdom.

According to the project, this is a traditional urban market with exceptional multiethnic encounters and inter and translinguistic/cultural exchanges. A public space with open and A contained open-access public space for commercial transactions, Kirkgate Market contrasts with religious and community-led diasporic public spaces and the managed diversity of statutory environments, such as mosques, schools, hospitals, and residential neighborhoods which provide the foci for much existing research into superdiversity and multimodality.

Between qualitative and quantitative methods, the project seeks to examine the multilingual and cultural accommodations incorporated by people of different ethnicities in their interactions at the Kirkgate Market.
