Meeting Description:

6th conference on Explorations in Ethnography, Language and Communication
(EELC) Södertörn University (Sweden), 22-23 September 2016

The aim of the conference is to examine how linguistic ethnography can be used
in order to capture cultural, gendered, linguistic and other kinds of
diversity in today's global societies. In line with Södertörn University's
intercultural profile, conference papers will explore the role of language in
diverse settings: in the workplace, in education, in the community and at
home. Today, with the development of technology, information and capital are
transcending social and geographical barriers thus giving new forms to
communication. The challenges of conducting ethnography in order to capture
these new globalized yet diverse settings are larger than ever and in this
conference we wish to explore new theories and methods and discuss research
results from studies that have set out to achieve this.

The following plenary speakers have confirmed their participation:

Jan Blommaert, Professor of Language, Culture and Globalization and Director
of the Babylon Center at Tilburg University
Anna De Fina, Professor of Italian Language and Linguistics and Chair of the
Italian Department of Georgetown University
Rickard Jonsson, Associate Professor in the Department of Child and Youth
Studies at Stockholm University


2nd Call for Papers: 

We welcome participants to give a paper, present a poster, or hold a workshop.
Paper presenters will be allowed 20 minutes, with a further 10 minutes for
discussion. Poster presenters will be assigned a special session for brief
presentations and discussions. Workshops may last 90 minutes to two hours and
can be run by one organizer or a group of organizers with complementary
projects. All workshop proposals should indicate a relevant thematic
discussion and associated audience activity, such as critical questions on
theory, issues of methodology, or exercises on data analysis.

Deadline for abstract submission for papers, posters, and workshops: 1st April
2016
Notification of acceptance: 29 April 2016
Deadline for conference registration: 27 May 2016
