Meeting Description:

On 22-24 May 2017, the Amsterdam School for Transnational, Regional and
European Studies of the Faculty of Humanities of the Universiteit van
Amsterdam will host an international conference organized by ARTES
(artes.uva.nl), ISPA’s RC50 (rc50.ipsa.org) and MIME (mime-project.org ).  

In recent years, global trends in migration, trade and overall mobility have
continued to transform our objective realities and subjective experiences of
linguistic diversity. More broadly, in many countries, the politics of
multilingualism have raised new possibilities for collaboration and action as
well as challenges to social solidarity and democratic life. In response,
scholars in the broad field of language policy and planning have studied
language policy choices, linguistic vitality and language revitalization,
curriculum development and pedagogies, governing mechanisms and policy
instruments, and explored the conditions for linguistic justice in complex
societies.

This conference will provide an opportunity to examine and better understand
these various possibilities and challenges associated with the contemporary
politics of multilingualism. Proposals for individual papers or for panels are
invited. We welcome case studies and comparisons, as well as papers adopting a
theoretical or normative perspective. Established academics and early-career
scholars are invited to submit proposals. 

Our keynote speaker will be Dr. Linda Cardinal (University of Ottawa, Canada).
Dr. Cardinal is Professor in the School of Political Studies and holder of the
Chaire de recherche sur la francophonie canadienne et les politiques publiques
at the University of Ottawa. She is one of Canada’s leading experts on
language and politics, and her recent comparative work has focused on language
regimes and state traditions. Dr. Cardinal is past president of IPSA’s RC50. 

Conference registration will cost 50€ for all participants (paper-givers,
discussants, chairs and attendees).

The organizersː

Dr. Rémi LÉGER (Simon Fraser University, rleger at sfu.ca)
Dr. László MARÁCZ (University of Amsterdam, l.k.maracz at uva.nl)
Dr. Christian NOACK (University of Amsterdam, c.a.noack at uva.nl)

Call for Papers and Panelsː

mailing address, and affiliation) of the author(s) and an abstract of up to
250 words.

- Panel title and individual paper titles
