Meeting Description: 

The Academy of Aphasia is an organization made up of researchers who study the
language problems of people who have neurological diseases. Some of these
researchers also provide clinical services to help people improve their
language skills following strokes or other illnesses. Each year, the Academy
of Aphasia hosts an annual meeting that highlights current research in the
field.

The 59th Annual Meeting of the Academy of Aphasia will be held online (October
24-26, 2021). The Academy of Aphasia welcomes submissions of original
experimental, clinical, theoretical, and historical research from any field
that contributes to the study of aphasia, including Speech-Language Pathology,
Psychology, Neurology, Neuroscience, Linguistics, History, and Computational
Modeling.   

Our keynote speaker is Dr. Salikoko S. Mufwene (University of Chicago Dr.
Mufwene is the Edward Carson Waller Distinguished Service Professor in the
Department of Linguistics at the University of Chicago. His research centers
on the phylogenetic emergence of language, language contact in a globalized
world, and in particular the emergence of Atlantic English creoles and Bantu
contact language varieties. From this perspective, Dr. Mufwene will discuss
how findings from neurolinguistics and aphasiology may inform evolutionary
linguistics, and perhaps the other way around. Dr. Mufwene is the founding
editor of the Cambridge Approaches to Language Contact book series and he was
elected a Fellow of the Linguistic Society of America in 2018. He has
published over 250 journal articles and book chapters and his recent books
include Language Evolution: Contact, competition and change (Continuum Press,
2008) and Complexity in language: Developmental and evolutionary perspectives
(co-edited with Christophe Coupé & François Pellegrino. Cambridge University
Press, 2017). He was a fellow at the Institute of Advanced Study in Lyon in
2010-2011. 

Now in its fourth year, the NIDCD-funded Academy of Aphasia conference grant
(R13 DC017375-01) will sponsor student fellows to attend and present their
work at the conference. They will also receive focused mentoring and training
from seasoned faculty mentors at the meeting. Both U.S. and international
students are eligible to apply - please contact Swathi Kiran (kirans at bu.edu)
with inquiries. The grant also sponsors a state-of-the-art New Frontiers in
Aphasia Research seminar.This year's topic will focus on Electrocorticography
(ECoG), and the speaker will be Dr. Edward Chang of the University of
California San Francisco (UCSF). Dr. Chang is Chief of Epilepsy Surgery and
Chair of the Department of Neurological Surgery at UCSF. His scientific
research focuses upon the brain mechanisms for human speech, movement, and
cognition. He co-directs the Center for Neural Engineering & Prostheses at UC
Berkeley and UCSF, which brings together engineering, neuroscience, neurology
and neurosurgery to develop state-of-the-art biomedical devices to restore
function for patients with neurological disabilities.
