Meeting Description: 

Queen's University Belfast is pleased to announce its 1st Interdisciplinary Linguistics Conference (ILinC), a student-led venture to take place on 14-15 October 2011 (Friday and Saturday). This two-day conference is designed to offer participants a stimulating and friendly forum in which they may present and discuss their research findings. Additionally, the event aims at bringing together researchers from different academic divisions carrying out language studies in order to foster cross-disciplinary contact.

This year's conference theme is 'Crossing Boundaries: The Impact of Language Studies in Academia and Beyond'. We therefore seek to look into the role played by language studies both within the academic scenario and outside it, paying special attention to the relevance of current language research findings to society in general.

The following distinguished scholars have confirmed their participation at the conference:

- Prof. Deborah Cameron (University of Oxford)
- Prof. Michael Halliday (University of Sydney)
- Prof. Ruqaiya Hasan (Macquarie University) 

Lecture 1: 'Why do we need to understand about language?' (Prof. Michael Halliday, University of Sydney)

Lecture 2: 'Having an impact? Power, knowledge and language in a changing world' (Prof. Deborah Cameron, University of Oxford)
