Meeting Description:

The conference aims to bring together young and established scholars working
in Bulgarian and European higher education, giving them a venue for
reexamining the focus, content, boundaries and interconnections between
disciplines within the broad area of English Studies. Globalization, European
integration, mobility, migration and superdiversity, coupled with fast-paced
developments in communication technology, social networks, and new media, have
led to the unprecedented transformation of the English language and the
academic disciplines related to it. Old paradigms have been shattered and new
innovative approaches have emerged, embracing the plurality of English and the
polycentricity of its norms. While looking forward to what’s new, the
conference also invites contributions on the history of English Studies, as it
is in the dialogue between old traditions and new paradigms that academic
vigor flourishes best.  

A special section for young researchers (MA, PhD students) is envisaged. 

Conference themes: 

- What do English Studies study? Renegotiating discipline boundaries and
transdiciplinarity
- English as an academic lingua franca
- New and Old Englishes in the classroom
- English teaching in the age of communication technologies, social networks
and new media 
- New paradigms in the teaching of English/linguistics/literature/culture 
- Curriculum development and evaluation in higher education
- Creative writing, multimodality and language creativity
- Developing translation skills and (trans)cultural context
- Tradition and innovation in the study and teaching of English

Plenary speakers: 

- Dr. Mario Saraceni, Centre for European and International Studies Research,
University of Portsmouth, United Kingdom: LINGUISTIC  BORDER CROSSINGS AND THE
BENEFITS OF DISORDER 
- Dr. Britta Schneider, Institute for English Philology, Free University,
Berlin, Germany: TEACHING ENGLISH IN AN AGE OF TRANSNATIONALISM: Language
Ideological Perspectives on English beyond Methodological Nationalism and What
it Means for Language Teaching
- Prof. Pawel Frelik, Department of American Literature and Culture / Video

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.
