Meeting Description:

The complex interactions between environmental, economic, social, and
cultural factors all contribute to sustainability (or lack thereof).
Language, too, is a crucial component in achieving a sustainable life
and world, but so far, language and linguistics have largely been
missing from the agenda of sustainability studies. This workshop forms
part of a series on linguistics and sustainability, and our aim is to
add a linguistic perspective to discussions of sustainability, and
more generally, strengthen the inclusion of linguistics and language
studies in sustainability studies.

The complex interactions between environmental, economic, social, and
cultural factors all contribute to sustainability (or lack thereof).
Language, too, is a crucial component in achieving a sustainable life
and world, but so far, language and linguistics have largely been
missing from the agenda of sustainability studies. This workshop forms
part of a series on linguistics and sustainability, and our aim is to
add a linguistic perspective to discussions of sustainability, and
more generally, strengthen the inclusion of linguistics and language
studies in sustainability studies.

In line with recent research on sustainability from the perspective of
humanities and social sciences, we do not assume that there is only
one way to conceptualize sustainability. Our aim is therefore to
explore the ways sustainability connects to linguistics, how it can be
defined, conceptualized, and put to use in language studies.

This workshop will focus on how the consideration of sustainability
can influence theories and methods in linguistic research. Specific
topics include different theoretical perspectives, ecolinguistics,
linguistic fieldwork, language documentation, language maintenance and
revitalization, center-periphery relations, and issues of
collaborative knowledge creation. The workshop asks:

Who researches what, how, and for whom in linguistics?
How can linguistic research be sustainable for linguistics and for the
speakers?

How can linguistics contribute to cultural, social, and environmental
sustainability goals?

Abstracts of 1,500 to 2,500 characters (including spaces and possible
references) for a paper (20+10 min), panel or roundtable discussion
with several participants (60 min) are to be sent via
https://nettskjema.no/a/310832 by 15 of March 2023. The organizers
will send notices of acceptance by the end of March 2023. Please note,
the roundtable discussion is a flexible format, and may also be used
creatively, for example for an interactive session.

Workshop participation will be free. Several travel scholarships are
available for participants. If you want to be considered for a
scholarship, please respond to the questions in the abstract
submission form. We encourage submissions from young researchers.

Key dates:

Deadline for abstract submission: 15 March 2023
Notification of acceptance: 31 March 2023

Conference: 24–25 August 2023
