<p>The call for individual papers for the AILA 2023 Congress to be held from 17 to 21 July 2023 in Lyon (France) is now open. All information is available at the following link:
<a href="https://aila2023.fr/call-for-papers/">https://aila2023.fr/call-for-papers/</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p>You are invited to submit an individual paper proposal to our accepted symposium:
<b>Nexus analysis as a methodological framework for more engaged language studies.</b>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:106%">Abstract: Researchers in the fields of applied linguistics and education are increasingly turning to nexus analysis as a methodological approach that captures the complexity of their data. However,
in building upon its roots in ethnography and linguistics, applied linguists and educational researchers strive to apply the elements of this methodological approach in an adaptive, participatory, and potentially transdisciplinary way. The purpose of this
symposium is to demonstrate the breadth and depth of nexus analysis through the inclusion of presentations that use nexus analysis or its elements (i.e., historical body, interaction order, discourses in place): in a transdisciplinary manner; in combination
with other methods; as a change-oriented approach; from different theoretical perspectives. The gathering of different research perspectives in this symposium will serve to inspire more engaged language studies. Presenters are reminded to highlight the methodology
in their papers.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:106%">The 3.5 h (half day) symposium is open to calls for presentations and will be organized as individual papers of 20 minutes each in two groups of three papers, with a 20 min question period at
the end of each group. <o:p></o:p></p>
