ABOUT THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR LANGUAGE STUDIES<br>
<br>
The International Society for Language Studies (ISLS) is a 501c(6) non-profit, organized in 2002 by scholars united in their goal to have a forum encouraging and disseminating post-positivistic research in languages matters, broadly conceived. Prior to the founding of ISLS such research was presented in venues primarily designed for applied linguistics, educational studies, language-specific concerns, literary criticism, anthropology, sociology, history, or similar disciplines. ISLS seeks to bring together scholars from research disciplines whose research has been on issues of language studies. The mission of ISLS is to sustain:<br>
<br>
…an interdisciplinary association of scholars who explore critical perspectives on language. Within these perspectives, language is understood as both shaping and being shaped by historical, political, social, and cultural contexts. Research on language from such perspectives has historically been marginalized as well as compartmentalized within artificially constructed academic disciplines. The primary purpose of ISLS is to bridge these arbitrary disciplinary territories and provide a forum for both theoretical and empirical research, from existing and emergent research methodologies, for exploring the relationships among language, power, discourses, and social practices.<br>
<br>
Informed by this mission, ISLS retains its grassroots and all-volunteer origins in efforts to organize conferences (St. Thomas, 2003; Montreal, 2005; Honolulu, 2007; Orlando, 2009), produce its quarterly journal <i>Critical Inquiry in Language Studies</i> (published by Taylor & Francis) and publish its new book volume series <i>Readings in Language Studies</i> (published by ISLS, Inc.).<br>

ISLS 2013 IN PUERTO RICO</h2>
<br>
<br>
We are pleased to announce that the ISLS 2013 conference will take place in San Juan, Puerto Rico. We received a great suggestions from the conference destinations survey that members completed over the summer, and Puerto Rico was among those at the top of the list. The planning committee explored a number of other locations, including several in Europe. Unfortunately, the cost to hold a conference of our size in those locations would be prohibitive at this time. Look for additional information regarding the conference in early 2012, but please mark June 13-15, 2013 in your calendars for ISLS 2013 in San Juan, Puerto Rico!<br>
