Dear all,
Please join us for the 8th biennial conference of the Linguistic
Ethnography Forum, hosted by the Department of Teacher Education and School
Research & Centre for Multilingualism in Society across the Lifespan
(MultiLing) at the University of Oslo, Norway.

This year’s theme is “Perspectives across disciplinary and political
borders.”

Linguistic ethnography has emerged as a way to bring contextualized insight
into communication practices and has been taken up by a variety of
disciplines. In this conference, we welcome contributions related to the
study of communication practices from across contexts and disciplines. By
bringing together researchers who work on issues of language and
communication through ethnographic methods, we aim to improve
understandings of communication in context and contribute to contemporary
social concerns. Through this year’s theme, particular focus is set upon
transdisciplinarity and the methodological and praxiological opportunities
for addressing issues of social change and social justice.

Keynote presentations will be given by Christine Hélot (University of
Strasbourg, France), Quentin Williams (University of the Western Cape,
South Africa), and Bente Ailin Svendsen (University of Oslo, Norway).

Workshops will be led by Julia Snell (University of Leeds, UK), Line Møller
Daugaard (VIA University College, Denmark), and Mariëtte de Haan (Utrecht
University, the Netherlands) and Alfredo Jornet Gil (University of Oslo,
Norway).
