Subject: ICE-5 Ecolinguistics in Action: Real-World Issues

 
Fifth International Conference on Ecolinguistics, Ecolinguistics in action: tackling real-world issues 

Date: 12-Apr-2021 - 14-Apr-2021 
Location: Liverpool but held Online, United Kingdom 
Contact: Jessica Hampton 
Contact Email: ice5 at ecoling.net 
Meeting URL: https://ice5.org 

Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics; Discipline of Linguistics; Discourse Analysis; Ling & Literature; Text/Corpus Linguistics 

Meeting Description: 

The conference aims to create a dynamic and stimulating space for discussions
and sharing of knowledge from across all relevant disciplines in an attempt to
engage academics with different perspectives and ideas on how to use
ecolinguistic research to bring about change. Ecolinguistics explores the role
of language in the life-sustaining interactions of humans, other species and
the physical environment.

One aim of ecolinguistics is to develop linguistic theories which see humans
not only as part of society, but also as part of the larger ecosystems that
life depends on. Another aim is to show how linguistics can be used to address
key ecological issues, from climate change and biodiversity loss to
environmental justice.

ICE-5 will focus particularly on this second aim, and build on the themes of
previous ICE conferences (held in Denmark and China) which explored how
linguistics can contribute to the creation of ecological civilisations. ICE-5
will place a particular emphasis on practically resisting the hegemonic
narratives of industrial civilisations and working towards concrete changes
which can help more ecologically beneficial forms of society emerge. 
 

Program Information:
