Meeting Description:

The research group “Diversity Studies. Cognition, Literature, Media, Language“
at TU Dortmund University has as its aim to explore the many facets of
diversity from the perspectives of linguistics as well as literary and media
studies. The conference on “Diversity in Cognition“, taking place February
5-7, 2020 at the „Dortmunder U“, will be the first of a series of conferences
focusing on such interdisciplinary and multimodal approaches to Diversity
Studies. This first conference will be dealing with the multiple links between
diversity and cognition.


Call for Papers:

Scholars in the field of linguistics (psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, and
applied linguistics) conduct empirical research on how linguistic, cultural
and individual diversity influences cognitive processes in different domains –
however, the interdisciplinary links to current discussions in cultural
studies need to be explored further: If linguistic, especially grammatical
structures substantially shape individual thought and thereby create
sociocultural diversity, the question to be answered is how these various and
interconnected factors impact cognition as well as the literary, medial and
linguistic productivity of modern societies. At the same time, the concept of
super-diversity (originally developed in social studies) takes into account
the fact that, as a consequence of increasing migration and mobility as well
as the globally intensifying use of communication technologies, categories of
difference do not only overlap, but also diversify within the categories
themselves. 

The conference is divided into four panels that will discuss approaches to
diversity studies from the perspectives of psycholinguistics, applied
linguistics, media studies, and literary studies. 

Panel 1: Cognition and Psycholinguistics
Possible topics: 
1. Linguistic relativity: The influence of language on cognition
2. Influences of different kinds of expertise on cognition and perception
3. Topics from multilingualism research

Panel 2: Cognition and Language
Possible topics: 
1. Cognitive resources and processes of multilingual speakers of English as a
lingua franca
2. Language choice and management of internationally socialized, multilingual
speakers
3. Meta-cognitive perspectives: beliefs, assumptions, knowledge (BAK) towards
English as an essentially multilingual lingua franca

Panel 3: Cognition and Media
Possible topics: 
1. Social conditions and interaction structures for diversity-sensitive media
behavior on the micro-, meso-, and/or macro level
2. Cognitive reconstruction of normative presuppositions: teachers’ beliefs in
media education 
3. Medially mediated reflection of how diversity is handled
4. A.I. and hidden discrimination: digital technologies and the transparency
of intersectional diversity in decision processes

Panel 4: Cognition and literary text
Possible topics: 
1. Requirements and effects of diversity-sensitive research on reading
2. Stereotyping and beliefs in literature-induced emotionality
3. Theory in Mind as a model of literary reception
4. Genres of poetry in models of cognitive psychology
5. Narratology from the perspective of cognitive science

The deadline for abstract submission (250 words max) is November 20, 2019.
Please state your preferred panel. In case your abstract is accepted you will
be notified by December 5, 2019. Registration is open from December 6, 2019.

Please submit your abstracts to diversity-cognition2020 at gmx.de.

The conference proceedings will be published as part of the COGNITIO series
(Peter Lang).
