Meeting Description:

We cordially invite you to join our academic symposium, "European
Migrants in the UK in the Brexit Era: Discursive Perspectives." This
event seeks to bridge the gap between existing academic research on
Brexit, which has primarily focused on EU migrants' social
experiences, and discourse-based analysis. By exploring the discursive
and linguistic dimensions of Brexit from the perspective of EU
migrants, our symposium aims to fill this scholarly void. We emphasise
contemporary migration experiences and the discursive practices that
revolve around EU migrants in the UK, whether produced by migrants
themselves or in media representations. We welcome academic
contributions related to narratives of migration, identity, media
discourse, language attitudes, intercultural communication, education,
and hostile practices. Innovative research and work in progress are
encouraged for potential inclusion in a forthcoming book proposal. The
symposium will be conducted online and free to register, ensuring
wider reach and accessibility.

Call for Papers:

The existing literature on Brexit has covered the experiences of EU
migrants mostly within the social sciences, focusing on biographies
and life plans (Duda-Mikulin 2019; Rzepinkowska 2022; Lulle et al.
2022; Varriale 2023) but has made limited use of discourse-based
analysis and has given limited space to questions of language. On the
other hand, the discourse- and language-based literature on Brexit has
mostly focused on the analysis of political debates, particularly in
media (Koller et al. 2019 Routledge; Zappettini and Krzyżanowski 2021;
Šimunjak 2022) or has focused on language policies post-Brexit in the
UK (Kelly 2018) and in the EU (Leal 2021). While the works based on
the discourse of political debates have included references to
migration policies, this literature has given limited space to the
voices and experiences of EU migrants (with the partial exception of
Šimunjak 2022).
Against this background, we invite papers showcasing original research
into the exploration of the discursive and linguistic dimension of
Brexit as experienced by EU migrants, i.e., bridging between the two
sets of literature outlined above. The symposium “European Migrants in
the UK in the Brexit Era: Discursive Perspectives”, will focus on (1)
contemporary, rather than historical, migration and (2) on the
discursive practices involving EU migrants in the UK. These are
intended both as discourses produced by the migrants, e.g., in their
everyday practices, or discourses about the migrants, e.g., in the
media. A broad range of discursive approaches will be included,
including multimodal discourses (Schiffrin et al. 2018, Hyland et al.
2021, Gee and Handford 2023). Papers will rely on a variety of
research methods, from interviews and ethnographic observations to
analyses of political debates, social and legacy media.
We welcome contributions on topics that include (but are not limited
to):
o       narratives of migration (insider and outsider perspectives);
o       identity and belonging;
o       media representations;
o       language attitudes/maintenance, translanguaging, accentism;
o       intercultural communication;
o       education/teaching;
o       hostile practices (microaggressions, hate speech).
We encourage innovative research and (fairly mature) work in progress
to be included in a book proposal.
Contributions
We invite 500-word anonymous abstract submissions for consideration,
specifying how the proposed study sits within the scope of the call
and what innovative contributions it brings.
Talks will last 20-minute (plus 10 minutes for discussion).
