Meeting Description:

In line with the four previous successful ASYRAS conferences, the Department
of English and German Studies at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona is
pleased to announce the Fifth International Conference of the Association of
Young Researchers on Anglophone Studies, ASYRAS 2017: ''Against all Odds:
Persistence and Resistance in Young Researchers' Work''. The event will be
held at the Facultat de Filosofia i Lletres at the UAB between 25 and 27
January 2017, to encourage and promote early-career linguistic, literary and
cultural research in Anglophone Studies.

Over the last few years, young researchers have had to face a difficult social
and academic scenario, which against all odds is generating promising and
fruitful future careers. This conference aims to provide a stimulating
environment for postgraduate students and early-career specialists in English
Studies to present and share their ideas on exciting areas of linguistic,
literary and cultural research. It will offer a combination of plenary talks
and joint panels of presentations, as well as two sessions of lightning talks
(pecha kuchas) and the ''Doctor is in'' sessions where workshops on academic
writing or postdoctoral opportunities will be held. Confirmed plenary speakers
include Professor Carmen Muñoz, from the Universitat de Barcelona, Dr Antonio
Ballesteros, from the Universidad Nacional a Distancia (UNED), Professor
Maria-Josep Solé and Professor Andrew Monnickendam from the Universitat
Autònoma de Barcelona.

- 300-word abstracts for papers not exceeding 20 minutes
- 300-word abstracts for pecha kucha (lightning talks) not exceeding 10

Your proposals should be submitted via EasyChair by 30 September 2016. Your

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
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
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 Indiana University 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!
