2nd. CALL FOR PAPERS
I-mean 3, Identity and Language Conference, UWE, Bristol 18-20 April 2013
Submit your abstract, by 31st. January 2013, to : http://linguistlist.org/confservices/imean2013
The conference web-site is now live at:
http://www1.uwe.ac.uk/cahe/research/bristolcentreforlinguistics/i-mean/conferencedetails.aspx
The third imean conference will address the relationship between language and identity.
Following the imean tradition, we seek to explore ways in which researchers can fruitfully work across methodological and disciplinary boundaries. We also welcome scholars from other disciplines who have an interest in the links between language and identity.

The conference aims to explore whether and to what extent bringing together different methodological and theoretical approaches can:
• Enhance understanding of identity attribution in interaction
• Lead to theoretically robust methodological innovation

Exploring how speakers use language to claim an identity has been explored but also challenged in the various traditions (ranging from mainstream sociolinguistic theory to linguistic anthropology). In the broadly defined field of sociolinguistics there are many conceptualisations of ‘identity’. Through language we actively construct and negotiate our self and social identities. It is through language that we index, directly and indirectly, who we are/how we wish to be perceived and where we (want to) belong. We see identity as (not exclusively but to a large extent) a linguistic phenomenon, dynamic and constantly evolving.

Papers are invited from researchers working across different linguistic fields and traditions, focusing on any aspect of language and identity.

Main conference themes:
• Constructionist and post modern approaches to identity
• Identity in spoken interaction: methodologies and methods
• Three waves of variation studies
• Variation, identity and language change, revisited
• Multimodal approaches
• The relationship between role and identity
• Culture, language(s) and identity
• Identity Theory and Social Theory

Plenary speakers:

 *   Dawn Archer
 *   Nik Coupland
 *   Penny Eckert
 *   Lorenza Mondada
 *   Ben Rampton
 *   Ruth Wodak

Round table: Stances, methodologies and methods for the analysis of identity in interaction.

Call for Papers

Workshop: Prosopography of Healthcare

Date: 1 June 2013

Venue: Kingston University

There is a growing band of historians conducting prosopographical projects on topics relating to healthcare. The subjects of known projects span the centuries and the trades, from mediaeval to the 20th century, including nursing and medicine. A small group of nursing prosopographers (brought together originally through Katherine Keats-Rowan’s excellent, but now mothballed, Centre for Prosopography at Oxford) has decided the time is right to convene a new group. This call for papers is to anyone who is, has been, or is thinking of working on the history of healthcare, using prosopography as an integral methodology. We plan to convene a workshop/conference to discuss current and future projects, share ideas and experiences. If you are interested in participating please send a short abstract (200 words) describing your project (or project idea) to arrive by 28 February 2013, to Sue Hawkins at s.e.hawkins at kingston.ac.uk<mailto:s.e.hawkins at kingston.ac.uk> .

Conveners: Sue Hawkins  (Centre for the Historical Record, Kingston University); Carmen Mangion (Dept. History, Birkbeck College London; Helen Sweet, Wellcome History of Medicine Unit, Oxford University).
