Ton Vallen Award 2012

Ton Vallen (1946-2011) was Professor of Multilingualism and Education
at Tilburg University, The Netherlands, and a deeply committed member
of the Babylon Center for the Study of the Multicultural Society. He
dedicated his life and work to the complex issues of language in
education in a society increasingly characterized by linguistic and
cultural diversity. In memory of his life and scholarship, the Babylon
Center honors the scholarly efforts of young postdoctoral researchers
in Ton Vallen’s field through the annual Ton Vallen Award.

The Ton Vallen Award is given to the author(s) of an article on
sociolinguistic and educational issues in multicultural societies,
published in an academic journal in the year prior to the award. The
author(s) of the article are eligible within five years after
obtaining their PhD degree. The article needs to be submitted to the
Ton Vallen Award Committee by June 1, 2012, and the award, shortlist
and citations will be announced in September 2012.

The Ton Vallen Award intends to provide an incentive to young
researchers in this field of inquiry, to publicize and highlight
excellence in scholarship in this field, and to stimulate discussion
and collaboration among the research community in this field.

The Ton Vallen Award Committee consists of Jan Blommaert (chair), Guus
Extra, Sjaak kroon, Ad Backus, Jeanne Kurvers, Nancy Hornberger and
