<p>Sociolinguistics Symposium 22 (SS22)</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>27-30 June 2018</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The University of <span>Auckland, New Zealand </span></p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Since its inception at West Midlands College in the UK in 1976, the biennial Sociolinguistics Symposium series has become the key academic forum in its field. It is a demonstrably international conference, attracting delegates from across the globe, and
has consistently been at the forefront of academic developments in sociolinguistics.</p>
<p>As such, it seems highly appropriate that, in 2018, SS22 will be hosted by the University of Auckland, New Zealand, the first time that the Sociolinguistics Symposium has been outside of both Europe and the Northern Hemisphere.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The SS22 theme will focus on the interconnections (and fissures) across disciplinary, epistemological and geographical spaces in sociolinguistics at the present time and in relation to (re)situating current key developments (such as the multilingual turn
and superdiversity).</p>
<p><br>
