Among the many interesting talks will be four by distinguished plenary
speakers:

Dr. Quentin Williams is Director of the Centre for Multilingualism and
Diversities Research and an Associate Professor of Sociolinguistics in the
Linguistics Department at the University of the Western Cape. His research
interests include multilingualism, race, Hop Hop, language activism,
Afrikaaps, and linguistic citizenship in South Africa. His most recent books
are Struggles for Multilingualism and Linguistic Citizenship with Tommaso
Milani and Ana Deumert (Multilingual Matters, 2022) and Global Hiphopography
with Jaspal Singh (Palgrave McMillan, 2023).

Dr. Kathryn Franich is Assistant Professor in the Department of Linguistics at
Harvard University. Her research examines patterns in speech acoustics,
articulation, and perception in order to understand how language is
structured, how it is used in communication, and how it gets passed from one
generation to the next. Much of her work draws on data from Medumba, a
Grassfields Bantu language spoken in Cameroon.

Dr. Jason Kandybowicz is a Professor of Linguistics at The Graduate Center,
City University of New York. His research interests include syntactic theory,
the syntax-phonology interface, language documentation, and the Niger-Congo
languages of West Africa. Many of the languages he researches are either
endangered or under-documented. Kandybowicz is the author of several books
including Anti-contiguity, The Grammar of Repetition, and Africa's Endangered
Languages, as well as numerous articles in scholarly journals and edited
volumes.

Dr. Eyasu Hailu Tamene is Assistant Professor in the Department of Humanities,
Language Studies, Journalism, and Communications at Addis Ababa University.
HIs research focuses on Ethiopian Sign Language linguistics and the
sociolinguistics of the deaf community of its speakers. He studies deaf
history, deaf culture, sign language documentation, deaf politics, and deaf
sports. Dr. Tamene is author of the 2017 book The Sociolinguistics of
Ethiopian Sign Language: the Use and Attitudes published by Gallaudet
University Press.
