Meeting Description:

The Language Latitudes Two-Day Workshop (April 13-14, 2023) will be hosted at
the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada. This workshop is a
collaboration between the University of British Columbia (Department of
French, Hispanic, and Italian Studies and Department of Linguistics), and the
University of Bern (Center for the Study of Language and Society).


Call for Papers:

We are inviting submissions for the Language Latitudes Two-Day Workshop (April
13-14, 2023) at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada. This
workshop is a collaboration between the University of British Columbia
(Department of French, Hispanic, and Italian Studies and Department of
Linguistics), and the University of Bern (Center for the Study of Language and
Society).

The Language Latitudes Workshop is an opportunity to engage with scholars
interested in language attitudes and their social consequences. For this
workshop, we focus on three specific domains: (1) social opportunities, (2)
multilingualism, and (3) public voices. We invite research questions about how
language attitudes may perpetuate the idea of a monolingual standard (e.g., in
research and in the public), adversely affect life outcomes (e.g., in
accessing education, employment), impact intergenerational language
transmission (e.g., as a result of social bias against particular languages)
and limit the public visibility (or audibility) of a diverse range of voices
(e.g., in news and speech technology). We encourage submissions that engage
with the causes and effects of language attitudes across these domains, with
the goal of learning from each other and reflecting on how language attitudes
could elevate some voices while marginalizing others.

Invited Presenters 
Marie-Eve Bouchard (University of British Columbia)
Andrew Cheng (Simon Fraser University)
Ethan Kutlu (University of Iowa)
Naomi Nagy (University of Toronto)
Rachael Tatman (Language Technology Educator)
Kristin Snoddon (Ryerson University)

The final session of the workshop is a working session with the goal of a
large-scale collaborative project on language attitudes. As a result, we
expect all attendees to join us for the full two days as our collective work
will be most productive by active participation in all sessions. We will send
out more information for those papers accepted ahead of time to inspire your
own thinking process about this workshop.

A special issue on the above themes is in the works and will be announced on a
later date.

Call for Abstracts
We invite abstracts for oral presentations (20 minutes, with 10 minutes for
questions. Maximum one page abstracts  should be submitted as .pdf. Abstracts
will be reviewed for their suitability given the theme of the workshop.
Work-in-progress that are ready for comments are welcomed. The deadline to
submit abstracts is January 16th, 2023.
