Welcome to AMLI 2025
The fifth conference on Approaches to Migration, Language, and
Identity (AMLI 2025) takes place at Liverpool Hope University from

2025 welcomes submissions for paper and poster presentations from
February 1st 2025 to March 31st. Scholars working on migration,
language and identity in disciplines such as the humanities,
disability studies, education, geography and social sciences are
invited to submit their proposals. Proposals for research papers could
