<h2>Let&#x27;s talk about language!</h2>People, not organizations, speak languages. This webinar introduces language-sensitive research in IB and explains why and how it emerged. It provides an overview of current state of knowledge and discusses potential avenues for future (interdisciplinary) research. During this webinar, we will problematize the way translation has been treated in quantitative and qualitative IB research. Instead, translation is offered as an approach that has implications both for theory development as well as methodological advances in IB and the IHRM field.Date and Time:	<ul><li>April 27 - 8:30 – 9:30 a.m. PDT (Vancouver, Seattle, San Francisco)</li><li>April 27 - 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. EDT (Toronto, Boston, New York, Miami)</li><li>April 27 - 4:30 – 5:30 p.m. GMT (London)</li><li>April 27 - 5:30 - 6:30 p.m. CET (Vienna, Berlin, Paris, Zagreb)</li><li>April 27 - 11:30 p.m. - 12:30 a.m. CST (Beijing, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Taipei)</li><li>April 28 - 12:30 – 1:30 a.m. JST (Tokyo, Kyoto)</li><li>April 28 - 1:30 – 2:30 a.m. AEDT (Melbourne, Sydney)</li><li>April 27 - 4:30 - 5:30 p.m. (UTC)</li><li>Use this <a href="https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html?iso=20210624T153000&amp;p1=256" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Time Zone Converter</a> to find your local time</li></ul>As an international partnership, the IHRM series welcomes speakers from all over the world and multiple time zones.
