Dear all,

Please forward this e-mail to anyone who you think might be interested.

*Ton Vallen Award 2016*

Ton Vallen (1946-2011) was Professor of Multilingualism and Education at Tilburg
University, The Netherlands, and a deeply committed member of 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,
with the support of Multilingual Matters, honors the scholarly efforts of young
postdoctoral researchers in Ton Vallen’s field through the annual Ton Vallen Award.

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 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 Ton Vallen Award comes with a diploma and will be widely publicized through a
network of academic communication channels.

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