Meeting Description:

The International Conference on Postgraduate Academic Writing, Networking and
Mentoring in the Humanities (PAWNAM), the first of its kind in Nigeria, is
designed to ensure the continuity of knowledge development, expansion and
transfer from seasoned senior academics to upcoming junior ones and to create
a platform for the generation, development, and sharing of ideas among budding
scholars under the tutelage of specialists in the various sub-fields of the
Humanities: Philosophy, Linguistics, Language Studies, Mass Communication,
Religious Studies, etc, where scholarship is declining, or needs to be
enkindled and sustained. The conference will provide a platform for
postgraduates from different universities to (i) share research experiences,
(ii) discuss research problems, (iii) present research work/findings, (iv)
acquaint themselves with new ideas/theories/methodologies and (v) acquire the
skills of academic writing from experienced/senior academics in their
respective fields.

Accordingly, the Humanities have been sub-divided into three broad areas: (i)
Linguistics, Theatre Language and Literary Studies, (ii) History, Philosophy,
International/Diplomacy, Cultural and Religious Studies, and (iii) Mass
Communication, Theater and Creative Arts. For this first meeting of the
conference, seasoned local and international scholars will critically examine
and discuss research papers on Linguistics, Language and Literary Studies, and
mentor the contributors and participants.

Conference Date: 3 -5 October, 2016.

Registration Fees: N20,000

Methods of Payment:
Interested Postgraduate students and scholars may pay in two instalments of

also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the

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

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.
