Meeting Description:

The 2016 Brexit vote is the result of a decade-long public debate expanding
the focus of migration studies from refugees/asylum seekers to include
EU/economic migrants in the UK. Amidst this climate of social and political
change, scholars have studied migration from the continent into the UK from a
variety of perspectives – mostly within sociology, geography, economics and
politics. On the other hand, language-centred approaches - mostly focused on
the media or bilingualism - have been much fewer. 

This event aims at bringing together scholars from various backgrounds but
united in their interest in the linguistic exploration of contemporary EU
migration in the UK or the investigation of the role of language(s) in this
migration phenomenon. Through the sharing of expertise, this event aims at
laying the ground for future collaboration to achieve a more in-depth,
systematic study of migration in the EU from a linguistic perspective.


Call for Papers:

We welcome contributions on topics that include (but are not limited to):
- Language attitudes; language maintenance; translanguaging practices
- Identity and belonging (inclusion and exclusion, differentiation and
discrimination; individual and collective identities)
- Nation, kinship, citizenship; integration and assimilation
- Education/teaching (initiatives, challenges, materials development)
- Old and new media representations
- Narratives of migration
- Students and workers
- Gender and age
- Family, romantic relationships and friends
- Fiction (e.g. literature, film, theatre)

Contributions:
We invite 300-word abstract submissions for consideration:
- Long paper: 20-minute talks (plus 10 minutes for discussion)
- Short paper: 10-minute talks (plus 5 minutes for discussion)
- Poster presentations

Deadline for abstract submissions: Sunday 22nd March 2020. Please send your
abstracts to Dr Caterina Guardamagna (C.Guardamagna at gmail.com), marking the
subject as: EU migrants in the UK Conference.
