 CFP: The 16th International Conference on Minority Languages (ICML XVI) &
34th Summer School and Conference of Applied Language Studies in Jyväskylä
& Närpes, Finland

CAL Language Policy Research Network
******************************

The University of Jyväskylä Language Campus is pleased to announce the 16th
International Conference on Minority Languages (ICML XVI) & 34th Summer
School and Conference of Applied Language Studies in Jyväskylä & Närpes,
Finland August 28-30, 2017

*Conference theme:* Revaluing minority languages

Minority languages have long been used by different groups of social actors
for identity and community building purposes, such as the symbolic,
material, and political mobilisation of linguistic and cultural rights.
Currently, under changing political, economic and cultural conditions
around the world, minority languages are subject to multiple, overlapping
and even contradictory discourses and practices of valuation and
revaluation.

The peripheral position of minority languages, as structured by
nation-state logics, and the central role endowed to them in the political
projects of various minority groups are now complexified by both the
increasing economic value of minority languages as a resource of
distinction and authenticity, and by the intensified mobility of languages
and their speakers. Some of the consequences of this complexification
result in re-evaluating relationship between minority and migrant languages
and the trajectories of so-called “new speakers” of minority languages.

ICML XVI will address critical questions such as how minority languages are
valued, by whom and under what conditions.

The conference is open to researchers, students and stakeholders from
across the multidisciplinary field of minority languages.

*ACADEMIC PROGRAMME*

In addition to the talks delivered by plenary speakers, the programme will
consist of panel discussions, paper and poster sessions, colloquia and
workshops.

*Talks by plenary speakers:*

Professor Helen Kelly Holmes (University of Limerick, Ireland)

Professor Ingrid Piller (Macquarie University, Australia)

Director Robert Adam (University College London, UK)

Professor Sari Pöyhönen (University of Jyväskylä, Finland)

There will be two invited panel discussions: 1) Historical language
minorities in Finland and in the neighboring countries; and 2) Immigration
and integration in the Swedish speaking regions of Finland.

Pre- or post-conference workshops will be organized by plenary speakers.

*CALL FOR PROPOSALS*

The submission of proposals will be open in January 2017 and closes on
February 28, 2017.

Proposals regarding original and previously unpublished research on
minority languages are invited. All proposals should fall broadly within
the conference theme revaluing minority languages.

Types of presentations: 1) paper, 2) poster, 3) colloquium, and 4) workshop
(with hands-on activities based on some data or a specific topic).

*Length of abstracts*: paper, poster or workshop (500 words, max.,
including references),

*Proposals for colloquia*

Colloquia are collections of paper presentations that relate to a narrowly
defined topic of interest, and are offered in a three-hour time block.
Proposals for colloquia are limited to 700 words, and should include brief
summaries of each of the papers to be included, along with paper titles and
individual authors’ names. Sufficient detail should be provided to allow
peer reviewers to judge the scientific merit of the proposal. The person
submitting a proposal for a colloquium is responsible for securing the
permission and co-operation of all participants before the proposal is
submitted. A chair for the session must also be identified.

Language policy: The language of the conference is English. If a
presentation is based on data in any other language, use of multilingual
material (e.g. in Power Point slides, handouts) is recommended.

The proposals for any type of presentation will be evaluated anonymously by
at least two members of the Organizing Committee, and they will be
evaluated for their contribution to the field, quality of content, thematic
relevance, quality of abstract (organization, clarity of expression)

Presentation acceptances will be sent out by April 10, 2017.
