[Edling] Invitation to non-presenting attendees: 1st Annual Language Policy Forum (free for many!), Sheffield Hallam University, 31 May - 1 June 2018

[Dave Sayers]

Dear all,

Following the closure of our call for papers, it is now our great pleasure to invite 
non-presenters to attend the inaugural Language Policy Forum (31 May - 1 June 2018, 
Sheffield Hallam University) to see the fine selection of fascinating papers on 
offer! Attendance is free for BAAL student members, unfunded PhD students, or anyone 
who is retired, between jobs, or employed on a fractional/adjunct/hourly-paid basis. 
For those employed full-time there is a (relatively low) fee. (Top tip: some academic 
departments fund non-presenting attendance under ‘training’; worth asking!)

In order to get this notice out as quickly as possible, we’re publicising the 
accepted presentations before arranging them into the final programme. Details of 
presenters, their talks and abstracts are on our website, along with information 
about travel, accommodation etc.: 
http://www.langpol.ac.uk/view/langpol/events/2018-lpforum.

The deadline for non-presenting attendees to register is MONDAY 30 APRIL.

The conference will feature British Sign Language interpreters - we ask deaf 
delegates to contact us to ensure interpreters are present in their chosen parallel 
session. We are extremely grateful to the Humanities Research Centre at Sheffield 
Hallam University for making this possible.

Please pass this message on to anyone you feel may be interested, and/or retweet us 
here: https://twitter.com/langpolicy/status/982256553599295491.

And of course, do get in touch with us on langpolicy at gmail.com if you have any queries.

We look forward to seeing you in Sheffield!

All the best,
BAAL LP SIG committee (Elisabeth, Florence, Tae-Hee, Yongcan, Rachel & Dave)
