[HERITAGE-LIST] Deadline Extended (to 30 SEPTEMBER), Heritage Language Conference at UCLA: CALL FOR PAPERS

[Scott G. McGinnis]

Second International Conference on Heritage/Community Languages
March 7-8, 2014
Covel Commons @ UCLA
Call for Papers (Submission Deadline: September 30, 2013) and Registration Fee Reduced
Our conference will focus on heritage/community language studies as a multidisciplinary field. We seek submissions from disciplines including but not limited to anthropology, demographics, linguistics, sociology, applied linguistics, policy, psychology, bilingualism, education, and assessment.
You are invited to submit a proposal for a poster, a paper, or a panel. (A panel submission can accommodate up to four individual papers under a common theme.)
Proposal submission is a 2-step process:
1) Please file your proposal for a poster, a paper, or a panel, here<https://web.mail.mil/owa/UrlBlockedError.aspx>. Before submitting, you will be required to register and create a password, and then can log into the system to submit your proposal.
2) In addition, to facilitate review and program organization, please complete an information form here<https://web.mail.mil/owa/UrlBlockedError.aspx>.
(Please make sure to complete both these steps. Proposals will go out for external review, and our database capacity does not allow us to have a single submission site that can simultaneously process submissions, reviews, and program organization.)
