Location: Kanazawa, Japan 
Contact Person: Gareth Roberts

Linguistic Field(s): Sociolinguistics 

Call Deadline: 01-Jun-2022 

Meeting Description:

A number of organizations related to the language evolution community have
called on their members to reckon with systemic bias in the histories of their
fields, scholarship practices, and current patterns of inclusion (see
statements from EvoLang, ProtoLang, the Cultural Evolution Society, EHBEA, the
Evolution Society and the Linguistic Society of America). Building on these
calls to action, we seek to bring this conversation to the Joint Conference on
Language Evolution.


Call for Papers:

We welcome posters on topics broadly related to equity and diversity in
language evolution, such as:

- Historical perspectives, for example, the history of race and racism in the
study of language evolution.
- Surveys of diversity within the field.
- Empirical studies on language evolution that address issues of inclusion,
equity and diversity. For example, methodologies for researching creoles, sign
languages and/or systems that have been referred to as 'emerging'.
- Surveys of perceptions and attitudes to language evolution from outside of
the field. For example, what key questions do ordinary members of the public
want us to address?
- Knowledge transfer projects, for example how knowledge from the field of
language evolution can be used to address inequality.
- Reports on initiatives to improve inclusion and access to the field.

The session will take the form of a hybrid poster session, with posters both
physically exhibited at the conference in Japan and linked to a short 3-5
minute (max 1000 words) online narrative. The posters will be pat of the main
poster session of the Joint Conference on Language Evolution. For presenters
unable to attend the conference in person, we are able to offer assistance in
priting the poster. Digital versions of the posters will be added to this
website.
