> The Language Policy Forum 2018 invites scholars, practitioners and other stakeholders to take stock of what language policy means in times of growing diversity. We are especially interested in presentations that discuss dilemmas (language-related problems in the world) and hopes (possible solutions, perhaps as a result of applying research findings).

> Language policy permeates all domains of life, from the workplace, to the home and family, to schools, government, and other institutional settings. It enables some people to participate in these domains of life, and constrains others. The Language Policy special interest group (www.langpol.ac.uk) exists to enable dialogue on all areas of language policy research. We therefore encourage contributions from fields such as (but by no means limited to): sociolinguistics, applied linguistics, linguistic ethnography, political philosophy, economics, education studies, globalisation and migration studies.
> 
> As well presentations of empirical findings, we encourage meta-discussions of our own diversity of research practices: topics and data types, methodologies, and practical applications. We also encourage pedagogical submissions, exploring innovative approaches to the teaching of language policy in higher education.
> 
> Within this broad scope, we have no preferred themes or sub-disciplinary areas. This is the Language Policy Forum, a forum for all research about language policy.
> 
> Oral presentations will be 20 minutes in length, followed by 10 minutes for discussion and handover.
> 
> Abstracts (up to 300 words, including references, in word format) should be submitted by 15 January 2017 to http://www.langpol.ac.uk/view/langpol/events/2018-lpforum. Please note we are not inviting submissions of colloquia or panels.
> 
> Updates and preliminary discussions will take place on the mailing list of the Language Policy special interest group. The group is open to all, and free to join: http://www.langpol.ac.uk/view/langpol/join. Finally, there will be book raffles at the end of the Forum, so please don’t miss the fun!
> 
> Conference fees
> We are aiming for maximum inclusivity in this conference, at all career stages, and taking into account variations in job security throughout academia. For this reason we are keeping overheads low, which includes not providing lunch or a wine reception. (There is an excellent canteen on campus for delegates to buy lunch, or local shops for cheaper alternatives.) And with inclusivity in mind, the conference dinner will be cheaper than is conventional; it has not been booked yet but is likely to be around £15 per person.
