Meeting Description:

Language, Translation, and Migration Conference & Public Summit
 
The modern world is interconnected, mobile, multilingual and diverse.
Linguistic diversity however does not indicate linguistic equality. On the
contrary, the linguistically diverse nature of contemporary societies has
implications for social justice, with potentially differential access to
resources and the public sphere. In this context the politics of language are
a significant factor for the promotion of social cohesion. Research has
repeatedly shown that linguistic and ethnic minorities are disadvantaged in
interaction with institutions. This two-day conference brings together
scholars and practitioners from different professional and disciplinary
backgrounds to discuss the role of language as a key factor in globalised
societies.

The conference will be followed by a public summit focusing on the
relationship between language, translation, social mobility and social
cohesion. Participants will include scholars from the Humanities and Social
Sciences as well as representatives from the voluntary sector, the creative
industries, non-governmental organisations and policy makers.

Invited Speakers:

- Prof. Sandra Bermann, Princeton University
- Prof. Hilary Footitt, University of Reading
- Prof. Anne-Marie Fortier, Lancaster University
- Prof. Adam Jaworski, The University of Hong Kong
- Prof. Peter Patrick, University of Essex
- Prof. Alison Phipps, University of Glasgow


Call for Papers:

We invite contributions which encourage interdisciplinary dialogue between
scholars and practitioners in sociolinguistics and applied linguistics,
translation studies, modern languages, sociology, health, legal studies and
other areas in which language behaviour and language politics play a key role
both as research objects and professional practices.
 
Areas of interest include:

- Mono- and multi-lingual models of the nation: contemporary and historical
perspectives
- Language, translation and the refugee agenda: approaches and models
- Language and settlement: policies and practices
- Language contact and language change
- Hidden multilingualism
- Language and social justice
- Language diversity and the social role of translation and interpretation
- Translation, migration and professional ethics
- Linguistic and cultural barriers to social cohesion
- Transcultural creative practices
- Multilingual practices in the creative industries

absolutely necessary) are invited.  More information can be found here:
