General Information about the ENGHUM project and Conference:

The Partners of the Engaged Humanities projects
(http://engagedhumanities.al.uw.edu.pl/), Faculty of ''Artes Liberales'' at
University of Warsaw, School of Oriental and African Studies SOAS, University
of London, and Leiden University, hereby invite proposals for papers at the
first international conference on Engaged Humanities.

The Engaged Humanities project aims at strengthening scientific and innovation
capacity as well as social impact in the field of participatory action
research in linguistic-cultural heritage and revitalization of endangered
languages. The assumptions behind the project reflect the need for a holistic
and problem-oriented (not disciplinary-limited) approach to both theoretical
and applied issues in the study of language, culture, and society. An
essential goal also includes finding solutions for bridging collaboration and
knowledge-transfer gaps between academics, members of local communities/ethnic
minorities and non-academic organizations.

A precedent for the Engaged Humanities project and this conference was the
conference Integral Strategies for Language Revitalization held in Wilamowice,
Poland in June 2014. The Engaged Humanities conference will be directly
preceded by a workshop on digital humanities and efficient integration of
disciplinary perspectives/practices for effective engagement. Participants in
the conference are also welcome to attend the workshop.


Call for Papers:

The Engaged Humanities project aims at strengthening scientific and innovation
capacity as well as social impact in the field of participatory action
research in linguistic-cultural heritage and revitalization of endangered
languages. The assumptions behind the project reflect the need for a holistic
and problem-oriented (not disciplinary-limited) approach to both theoretical
and applied issues in the study of language, culture, and society. An
essential goal also includes finding solutions for bridging collaboration and
knowledge-transfer gaps between academics, members of local communities/ethnic
minorities and non-academic organizations.

Successful proposals will address one or more of the following topics:

- Multipurpose documentation of linguistic and cultural heritage
- Language revitalization in theory and practice
- Participatory action research and community-driven projects
- Indigenous research methodology and traditional knowledge in language and
cultural revitalization
- Economic impact of language preservation and multilingualism
- Language and wellbeing
- Cognitive effects of multilingualism
- Language contact in the context of endangerment
- Language policy for endangered language and cultures
- Pedagogical approaches to minority languages 

Formal Requirements:

Abstracts should be no more than one A4 pages in length including references
and examples. They should be anonymous, and set in a minimum of 12pt font.
They should be in
.docx or .pdf format and the filename should start with ENGHUM, followed by an
underscore and then first author’s surname, e.g. ENGHUM_bloggs.pdf. If you
have a common surname, please also include initials, e.g. ENGHUM_jjones.pdf.

Abstracts must be submitted via the EasyChair system which you can access via
this url: https://easychair.org/cfp/ENGHUM2017 If you do not have an EasyChair
account already, you will need to create one when you do this. Once logged in
complete your details and upload your abstract as an attachment (pdf or
docx).

Conference papers will be allotted 20 minutes + 10 minutes for discussion. A
projector (VGA/HDMI) and audio facilities will be available on site. We
welcome multimedia presentations.

The main conference languages are English and Spanish. However, in promoting
language use in all domains, especially of minority and lesser-known languages
papers may be given in these languages provided it does not unnecessarily
hinder effective communication; we would therefore suggest papers given in a
language other than English or Spanish be accompanied by adequate multimedia
subtitling or simultaneous interpretation.   

Venue:

The conference will take place in the Faculty of “Artes Liberales”, University
of Warsaw.
ul. Dobra 72 
00-312 Warszawa

Important Dates:
