Meeting Description:

Creative Multilingualism, an interdisciplinary and multi-university research
team led by the University of Oxford, invites you to a two-day conference on
Creative Multilingual Identities, to be held at the University of Reading,
Institute of Education, Friday 2 February – Saturday 3 February 2018.   There
is no charge for attendance at the conference or for refreshments over the two
days.

The concept of multilingual identities has become an increasingly important
one in contemporary social, literary and educational discourse in recent years
(e.g., Duff, 2015; Taylor, 2013; Toohey & Norton, 2010). The aim of this
two-day conference is to explore how creative processes create and shape
multilingual identities.  Particular areas of focus will include:

- the fluid nature of people’s linguistic identities in multilingual settings
- the ways engaging with artistic/cultural practitioners shapes multilingual
identity
- the relationship between language and multilingual identity 
- parents and teachers working creatively to support young people’s
development of their multilingual identity

Day One of the conference will include a series of presentations from Early
Career Researchers addressing the conference themes from a more academic
perspective, while Day Two will consist of workshops aimed at the general
public (including teachers and parents, artists and cultural practitioners
etc.) exploring the themes on a more practical level.


Call for Papers:

We invite abstracts for presentations from Early Career Researchers (20
minutes' duration, plus 10 minutes' discussion) on any aspects of the
conference theme.  We are defining ECRs as those who are within 10 years of
completion of their doctorate.

Abstracts - which should be a maximum of 250 words long and accompanied by a
short title and up to 75 words of bio information - should be emailed to:

creativeml at mod-langs.ox.ac.uk by 14 July 2017.
