Linguistic Field(s): Sociolinguistics 

Meeting Description: 

Engaging with current issues facing urban research in Birmingham, the 
Birmingham Cityscapes conference will provide a forum for academics, 
scholars, practitioners, community leaders and local residents to discuss 
urban research in the city, with a special focus on inter-disciplinary and 
trans-disciplinary approaches. The conference will explore urban research 
from a number of angles, while also addressing the perceived disconnect 
between those driving change in the city and those researching the 
experience of the individual in an urban environment. The conference also 
aims to facilitate the development of new research networks and will provide 
an opportunity for theoretical and applied knowledge transfer across the 
public, private, voluntary, and academic sectors.

As the intersection of language, culture, and location play an integral role in 
urban development, sociolinguists and experts in related fields are 
encouraged to attend. 

Conference registration is now open. Early Bird registration closes on 18th 
April 2011. Please visit www.bcu.ac.uk/cityscapes for more information. 

Conference programme is available at:

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and 
as such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a 
registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-
6005986. These donations can be offset against your federal and 
sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information 
visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will 
match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails 
your contacting your human resources department and sending us a form 
that the EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is 
generally a simple administrative procedure that doubles the value of your 
gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment 
to check if your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
