Meeting Description:

Centering Justice in Language Work
The 8th International Conference on Language Documentation & Conservation
(ICLDC 8)
Virtual Conference

Attention to aspects of justice as a social responsibility has been growing in
many fields in recent years. Our field should be no exception: the reasons for
language shift and loss worldwide are arguably tied to historical and
contemporary injustices and inequality. Furthermore, issues of justice
affecting speakers and language communities are not just linguistic: a growing
body of research shows that linguistic justice intersects with justice in the
environmental, health, legal, political, economic, and educational realms.

While the inherently sociopolitical nature of language work is evident to many
practitioners, justice goals are often considered by-products that are
secondary in importance to the more traditional scholastic aims of documentary
linguistics. Therefore, we believe it is time for the field of language
documentation and conservation to develop a framework that establishes justice
as both the starting point and end goal of our work. How might such an
approach reframe the traditional pursuits of documentation? Could it
potentially invert the field’s current motivations and methodologies,
asserting language justice as the ultimate goal, and traditional academic
pursuits as an expected outcome of such work?

Our field has not yet held an international conversation on achieving justice
within language documentation and conservation, what role language workers
play in achieving justice in intersecting realms, and how justice can
critically inform, and reform, best practices in language documentation and
conservation work. We propose to make the ICLDC8 a venue for this critical and
timely conversation. Importantly, we see ICLDC8 as an excellent opportunity
for practitioners to build relationships and develop the social infrastructure
necessary for working toward a justice-driven model of language work.

The conference program will feature Keynote presentations, Talk Story and
Workshop sessions, papers, and posters. The He ʻŌlelo Ola Hilo Field Study,
showcasing Hawaiian language K-20 immersion programs, will be integrated into
the conference schedule.

Posters: Posters will be digital and on display asynchronously throughout the
entire conference. There will also be a synchronous Poster Session in which
poster presenters will be able to reply to questions and interact online with
other attendees.

All paper and poster presentations will be archived in ScholarSpace, the
University of Hawaiʻi Repository, for continued viewing after the end of the
ICLDC.

How to prepare your abstract proposal

Content: Abstracts should describe the content of the proposed paper or poster
and clearly address the proposed topic’s actual or potential social impacts,
outcomes or implications.
Abstract Length: Please limit your proposal to 400 words, not including
references. 
Format: Upload your abstract as an MS Word or PDF file. Name your file using
the first author’s last name, e.g., “author.pdf.” 
Language: Abstracts should be submitted in English, but presentations can be
in any language. We particularly welcome presentations in languages of the
region discussed.
Authors may submit no more than one individual and one co-authored proposal
(including participation in a Workshop or Talk Story Session proposal), or no
more than two co-authored proposals. In no case may an author submit more than
one individually-authored proposal.

Most Impactful Paper Awards

Awards for Most Impactful Paper will be given to the six best abstracts by (i)
students and/or (ii) members of an underrepresented language community who are
actively working to document their heritage language and are not employed by a
college or university. If you or one of your co-presenters is eligible, go
ahead and mark yourself as eligible accordingly. The Award will come with an
honorarium of US$200. If your proposal receives an Award, we will contact you
to discuss which eligible person(s) will receive the honorarium. NOTE: Please
be advised that the honoraria are considered taxable income under U.S. tax
laws. U.S. citizens and residents can expect to receive a 1099 form to figure
into their annual tax return for 2023. Non-U.S. citizens/residents will have
the applicable taxable amount (typically 30%) deducted from the scholarship
check prior to receipt.
