Humphrey, all, <br>
<br>
Since the topic interests me I took the opportunity when doing some
background research on presenters to post a hyperlinked version of
the provisional program at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://donosborn.org/blog/?p=488">http://donosborn.org/blog/?p=488</a><br>
<br>
Are there any links between this effort and the biennial Language
and Development conferences? Next one in their series would be in
2017. See <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.langdevconferences.org/index.html">http://www.langdevconferences.org/index.html</a><br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Suzanne Romaine will be the keynote speaker
at the Symposium on Language and the Sustainable Development
Goals taking place in New York on April 21 and 22. The
symposium, to be held at 777 UN Plaza, New York, will bring
together speakers from nine countries and the UN to discuss
the linguistic implications of the SDGs. The SDGs will form
the basis of the United Nations’ development agenda for the
period 2015-2030. Very little attention has been paid to the
role, and consequences, of linguistic diversity in the
implementation of the SDGs, despite strong rhetorical emphasis
on inclusiveness and on two-way communication with the
populations involved. Registration for the Symposium is still
open at
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.languageandtheun.org">www.languageandtheun.org</a>.
The symposium is being organized by the Study Group on
Language and the United Nations. Sponsors include the Center
for Applied Linguistics, the Universal Esperanto Association,
and the journal <i>Language Problems and Language Planning.<o:p></o:p></i></p>
