[Linganth] CFP: Language and Power Conference

[Shannon Mary Ward]

CFP: Language and Power Conference, May 14-16 Kelowna, British Columbia
Canada

Scholars from across disciplines have analyzed the connections between
language and power. As an expressive resource, language empowers us to
elicit emotions, tell stories, persuade others, solve problems, and display
a stance. In learning and using particular languages, such as Indigenous
and heritage languages, we have the power to connect to our communities and
imagine our futures. By using language, we also express our multiple,
dynamic, and simultaneous identities.


This conference brings together scholars from diverse disciplinary
backgrounds, using multiple methodologies to collaboratively examine the
relationship of language and power. Through interdisciplinary discussion,
the conference highlights current issues of interest across the social
sciences and humanities, including language and empowerment in Indigenous
communities, language and identity, language and the political order,
and language
and new media technologies. Our goal is to foreground the diversity of
approaches to the study of language as an object, enactment, and producer
of power.
