The Society for Linguistic Anthropology, in partnership with graduate students
in the Program in Culture, Language, and Social Practice at the University of
Colorado Boulder, is pleased to announce the SLA 2020 Spring Conference, to
take place at the Hiltons on Canyon in Boulder, Colorado, on April 2-5, 2020.
The SLA Conference Steering Committee welcomes all submissions on language and
society, but we are especially interested in work that engages the 2020
conference theme: Future Imperfect: Language in Times of Crisis and Hope.
 
The Conference Theme:

As human societies face the tragedies of climate, war, racism, corruption, and
displacement that are projected to define the 21st century, the SLA 2020
Spring Conference calls upon scholars to question the way forward in an
imperfect future world. The future inhabits our uncertain present, generating
complex intersections of crisis and hope. The imperfect, as a verb
construction, describes an ongoing, incomplete action. With this conference
theme, we wish to highlight the ever-unfinished and evolving condition of
academic research and its contribution to pressing sociopolitical issues. How
do we, in our role as researchers, reconcile time-honored methodologies with
the novel challenges that have arisen in contemporary social life? How can our
academic labor more effectively address the concerns of the future? We welcome
submissions that make use of diverse methods, both micro and macro, to explore
the precarity and forms of resistance that characterize our contemporary
moment. We are especially interested in submissions that address the ways that
language use may both enable and contest the sociopolitical shifts that
continue to destabilize human equality (and indeed the future of humanity
itself), whether at local, national, regional, or global scales. More details
on the conference theme can be found at the SLA 2020 conference website.
  
Submission Information:

The submission portal is now open. Free registration with the American
Anthropological Association is a required first step before submitting an
