Meeting Description:

In their 2008 paper, King et al. laid the foundation for the emergence
of the field that came to be recognised as Family Language Policy
(FLP). Since then, this field of inquiry has received an increasing
amount of scholarly attention and has evolved into a burgeoning field
over the last decade. In this short time span, the core interests of
FLP have shifted: While it initially attempted “to draw direct causal
links across ideologies, practices, and outcomes”, it moved on to
examining “how families are constructed through multilingual language
practices, and how language functions as a resource for this process
of family making and meaning making” (King 2016: 728). Recent FLP
scholarship has pointed to the necessity of putting under scrutiny the
central concepts of family, language, and language policy and not
departing from taken-for-granted notions in order to produce situated
accounts of FLP (Lanza & Lomeu Gomes 2020). A recent proposal even
suggests reimagining the field “under the more all-encompassing label
of family multilingualism” (Léglise 2023: 288), arguing that the
institutionalisation of FLP as a field has marginalised different
kinds of knowledges pertinent to family multilingualism.

Encouraged by the impetus of these and other reflections on the
foundations of research on family language policy and family
multilingualism, we are organising this Hybrid International
Conference on Family Language Policy under the theme of Reimagining
the Field. We aim to provide a forum for discussing epistemological,
theoretical and methodological considerations around FLP and family
multilingualism (FM), for setting future research agendas and for
exploring possibilities for establishing regular venues for such
exchange.

We specifically welcome contributions in the form of papers and
symposia on the following issues:
• Epistemological foundations of FLP/FM
