2016 Conference of the Department of English Language and Literature: 

English Studies at the Interface of Disciplines: Research and Practice

Date: 11 – 13 March 2016

The second half of the twentieth and the beginning of the twenty-first century have witnessed increasing interaction between various cultures and various disciplines in scientific theoretical research, owing, primarily, to the development of the media and the internet. Such interaction has revealed and emphasized aspects that may have been overlooked without an interdisciplinary approach. Therefore, this conference aims to reaffirm and foreground the importance of co-positioning various contexts: linguistic, literary, cultural, political, ethical, ethnic, national, as well as the contexts of the scientific disciplines. Particular emphasis will be placed on examining how the findings of one discipline may shed light on traditionally neglected perspectives in another discipline

English language professionals are kindly invited to present their on-going research related to any of the topics included in the Call for Papers. Students are also encouraged to present posters about their research.
