Meeting Description: 

Language is a vital, but often underexplored, factor in the lives of migrants,
immigrants and refugees. It has a direct impact on the experiences and choices
of individuals displaced by war, terror, or natural disasters and the
decisions made by agents who provide (or fail to provide) relief, services,
and status. And, distilled through memory, it shapes the fictions, poems,
memoirs, films and song lyrics in which migrants render loss and displacement,
integration and discovery, the translation of history and culture, and the
trials of identity. 

This interdisciplinary, international conference on Language and Migration
will place the role of language in the lives and works of migrants in sharp
relief. In Part One, to take place in midtown Manhattan, participants are
invited to consider how language differently affects the experiences of
several populations:  permanently settled refugees and migrants; temporarily
settled refugees and migrants; and people in transit. These populations, in
turn, are variegated by age and gender, literacy and educational attainment,
culture and religion, and the political, economic and cultural contexts in
which they seek to settle. Part Two of the conference will focus on memory in
the cultural work of migrants and immigrants. On Friday evening the conference
will resume at Princeton University with a reading by eminent faculty
novelists in the Lewis Center for the Arts, followed on Saturday by a full-day
symposium on memory, language, and migration. To foster conversation across
disciplinary borders, participants are strongly urged to attend both parts of
the conference.

Princeton’s interdisciplinary Research Lab on “Migration: People and Cultures
Across Borders” comprises both humanists and social scientists; accordingly,
we invite proposals from a wide variety of disciplines, including comparative
literature, history, translation studies and philosophy; political science,
economics, education, sociology, and law; sociolinguistics, applied
linguistics, interlinguistics and forensic linguistics, among other fields.
This conference is co-sponsored by the Princeton Institute for International
and Regional Studies, the Esperantic Studies Foundation, and the Study Group
on Language and the UN.
