*SALSA XXIV:*


*Raising Voices*

April 15-16, 2016 at University of Texas at Austin

The Symposium About Language and Society (SALSA) is an annual symposium
promoting linguistic and sociolinguistic research at the University of
Texas at Austin. Originally created through the joint efforts of students
from the Linguistic and Anthropology Departments at the University of
Texas, SALSA has developed into an interdisciplinary conference with
contributions from various fields, including communication studies, foreign
language education, educational psychology, media studies, speech
communication, and numerous language departments. Our annual proceedings
appear in special editions of Texas Linguistic Forum.

This year's theme is *Raising Voices*. It is by raising voices that various
cultures overlap, connect, and share with each other. Languages encode
methods for cultivating the voices of both individuals and groups, drawn
together in solidarity through shared experience, growth, hardship, and
loss. How are linguistic mechanisms used to cultivate these identities and
sense of self? How can we utilize language to amplify cultural voices, and
how do we interpret cultural silence? How do ideologies underpin who go
gets to raise their voices and who is silenced? How do we use voice to
build bridges from within, across, and at the peripheries of cultures when
certain voices have been silenced as a result of colonial oppressions,
dominant discourses or ways of communicating? With new technologies
regularly available, how do we reconstruct voices that have been lost or
silenced? SALSA XXIV seeks to explore these questions and more in order to
contribute to literature in linguistics, anthropology, communication
sciences, and interdisciplinary fields such as queer, critical race, area,
and women's and gender studies.

This year's keynote speakers will be:
Dr. Rusty Barrett University of Kentucky
Dr. Diana Boxer University of Florida

Dr. Courtney Handman The University of Texas at Austin
Dr. Norma Mendoza-Denton University of California Los Angeles
