Meeting Description: 

Background

In September 2022, a new three-year research project will be starting up at
ANU entitled ‘Body, language and socialisation across cultures’ (BLS). Headed
by Alan Rumsey, with funding from the Australian Research Council, the project
aims to advance the understanding of how people learn languages, and in the
process become socialised into particular cultures and communities. To that
end, it will bring together an international team of researchers who have
videoed and studied many interactions involving children in five very
different settings around the world, and focus in new ways on the interplay of
speech and sign with other bodily forms of communication.

The conference

In the lead-up to the BLS project, we are holding an open conference at ANU on
the more general topic of ‘Sign, gesture and communicative multimodal modality
in cross-cultural perspective’. The purpose of the conference will be to
introduce the BLS project to a wide public in Australia, promote dialogue with
other researchers with related interests and expertise, and increase people’s
awareness and appreciation of the role of bodily action in human
communication. The presenters include nine BLS project participants and eight
other researchers with related interests and expertise. The conference will be
offered in hybrid mode - both in person and online. For deaf participants and
attenders in both modes, there will be Auslan interpreters and live
captioning. (For confidentiality reasons, some of the presentations – most
likely only one of them – will be available only for in person viewing at the
conference venue).

Full program and online login information available at website.
