<p><b><u><span style="font-size:14pt">Language and Literacy Education: Creating Access For All</span></u></b></p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p><span>The LLED Graduate Student Conference is a biannual, student-led academic conference. The conference is designed to provide opportunities for graduate students to gain conference experience, to share their work, and to receive useful feedback from peers/conference
participants. It’s an opportunity to celebrate and showcase the diversity of research in language, literacy, and education while also strengthening our collaborative links with other UBC departments and local institutions. The LLED Graduate Student Conference
will take place on <b>April 28th and 29th</b> in the PCOH building. In addition to LLED students, we will have presentations from plenary speakers, such as Dr. Angel Lin, and visiting students from universities in Canada and beyond!</span><br>
