Meeting Description:

On Friday 24 June 2016 from 10am to 5.30pm we are holding a one-day conference
for up to 50 PhD students who are researching any aspect of Global Englishes.
The event will be held in the luxurious Markus Liebherr Lounge of Southampton
Football Club, which is close to Southampton Central station, and also offers
free parking to conference delegates. The event will be entirely free to both
speakers and audience, and will include early and mid-morning and
mid-afternoon refreshments, and lunch.

Our aim is for PhD students from different institutions/countries to have a
forum in which they can both network and present their research to each other.
The day will begin with a keynote by Professor Anna Mauranen of the University
of Helsinki. This will be followed by nine student presentations (each of 30
minutes) throughout the day.

Call for Papers: 

We welcome proposals for the nine student speaker slots on any aspect of
Global Englishes (e.g. ELF, academic ELF, intercultural communication, EMI)
from current PhD students as well as from postdocs who have completed their
PhDs within the past two years. We also welcome Global Englishes PhD
supervisors who would like to act as discussants. For those students and
supervisors who are travelling to the ELF9 conference in Lleida during the
weekend of 25th-26th June, this would be a perfect opportunity to travel
slightly earlier via Southampton, spend a day at the Global Englishes PhD
conference, and then travel on to Barcelona for the weekend before catching
the train from Barcelona to Lleida!

We anticipate that the competition for both the nine speaking slots and the
audience places will be strong, so you are advised to apply as soon as
possible. If you would like to apply to give a talk, please submit your title
and an abstract of around 100 words, along with your affiliation and PhD title
to Tomokazu Ishikawa at ti1g12 at soton.ac.uk Note that preference will be given
to students who have already collected and at least partly analysed their PhD
data. If you would like to apply for an audience place, please contact
Tomokazu with your name, affiliation, and PhD title. If you would like to
attend as a supervisor-discussant, please contact Jennifer Jenkins at
j.jenkins at soton.ac.uk.

Looking forward to seeing you in Southampton on 24 June.

Jennifer Jenkins, Will Baker and Ying Wang
