invite papers and colloquia that approach language policy from a
variety of theoretical and methodological perspectives, and in a variety
of contexts, from the local/institutional to the national/global.</p><p>Abstracts of up to 300 words are welcome that address topics such as (but not limited to):</p><ul><li>Official & non-official language policies</li><li>Language-in-education policies</li><li>Language attrition, language revitalization + LP</li><li>Heritage language policies</li><li>LP and political economy</li><li>LP, globalization, and superdiversity</li><li>LP and the workplace</li><li>LP and lingua franca</li><li>LP and Indigeneity</li><li>LP and transnational communities</li><li>LP, signed languages, and Deaf studies</li><li>LP and anti-racism/anti-oppression</li><li>LP and political theory</li><li>National identities and language policies</li><li>LP and economics</li><li>Methods of LP inquiry</li></ul><p>Please see the conference website for details on how to format and submit your proposal.</p><p>We
especially encourage language-policy practitioners to submit paper
and/or colloquia sessions to share their work. We can imagine various
session structures, including: </p><ul><li>overviews of a specific
program (e.g., how a local, regional, or provincial language
policy supports language revitalization programming, in which government
representatives, teachers, and curriculum developers co-present);</li><li>roundtable
discussions in which policy-actors in a particular sector engage in
dialogue about common issues and challenges they face in their work; and</li><li>practitioner-research sessions that present findings from inquiry into a given language policy initiative.</li></ul><p>Focus for 2019</p><p>For
this year's conference, we invite paper, colloquium, and practitioner
proposals that are specifically oriented on critical approaches to the
future of the field of Language Policy and Planning. These perspectives
might be rooted in empirical or conceptual analysis, or a mixture
thereof; and consistent with the tradition of this conference, we invite
arguments from various disciplinary perspectives. One sign of how LPP
has matured into a discipline unto itself is the appearance of multiple
texts meant to define the parameters of the field. We are over a decade
out from the first books that established LPP as a robust discipline
(e.g. Ricento, 2006; Shohamy, 2006; Spolsky, 2004). More recently,
Johnson (2013) and Hult and Johnson (2015) have offered useful updates
with their books on the core concepts and research methods,
respectively, in the field. Indeed, there are now two handbooks on LPP,
so you know we've made the big time!</p><p>From this perspective of an
established discipline, we specifically invite papers that offer
critical approaches that challenge scholars and practitioners of LPP to
think about and do our work differently. In the past, the LPP Conference
has not published a conference proceedings. However, for this year,
we plan to propose an edited volume that compiles the best papers from
the 2019 conference presenting critical perspectives on the future of
the field. When submitting your paper, colloquium, or
practitioner proposal, please indicate whether you would like your work
considered as part of this publication.</p><p>The deadline for submissions is Thursday, February 28, 2019.</p><p>For more information, please visit the Call for Papers page of the conference website: <a href="https://wordpress.oise.utoronto.ca/lpp-conference/call-for-papers/" rel="nofollow">https://wordpress.oise.utoronto.ca/lpp-conference/call-for-papers/</a></p></div></div></div><div class="gmail-field gmail-field--name-field-announcement-contact gmail-field--type-text-long gmail-field--label-above"><div class="gmail-field__label">Contact Info: </div><div class="gmail-field__items"><div class="gmail-field__item even"><p>Jeff Bale, Associate Professor, OISE/University of Toronto</p></div></div></div><div class="gmail-field gmail-field--name-field-announcement-email gmail-field--type-email gmail-field--label-inline gmail-clearfix"><div class="gmail-field__label">Contact Email: </div><div class="gmail-field__items"><div class="gmail-field__item even"><a href="mailto:OISE.LPP@utoronto.ca">OISE.LPP@utoronto.ca</a></div></div></div><div class="gmail-field gmail-field--name-field-announcement-url gmail-field--type-link-field gmail-field--label-inline gmail-clearfix"><div class="gmail-field__label">URL: </div><div class="gmail-field__items"><div class="gmail-field__item even"><a href="https://wordpress.oise.utoronto.ca/lpp-conference/call-for-papers/" target="_blank">https://wordpress.oise.utoronto.ca/lpp-conference/call-for-papers/</a></div></div></div></div>
