Meeting Description:

The International Conference on Minority Languages (ICML) will be
hosted outside of Europe for the first time since its inception in
Glasgow in 1980. Universidad Externado de Colombia is the proud host
of this opportunity to bring together expertise from more than two
continents, to share experiences and research regarding
minority/minoritized languages. The ample linguistic diversity of the
American/Abya Yala continent provides challenges, but also great
examples of intercultural dialogue and multilingual cohabitation. ICML
will be a great opportunity for knowledges to be exchanged, academic
and practitioner experiences shared, and dialogues fostered.

ICML is an academic conference that holds scientific rigour as a key
component of international higher education discourse, yet it also
embraces other forms of knowledge creation arising from intercultural
dialogue. With those ideas in mind, the organising committee at
Universidad Externado de Colombia welcomes academic paper
presentations, pre-constituted panels, poster presentations and
practitioner experience dialogues in this event.

While English and Spanish serve as the official languages for
correspondence, plenary sessions, parallel presentation sessions, and
discussions at the conference, we actively promote and celebrate
linguistic diversity. We encourage participants to utilize and
showcase other languages throughout the event, fostering a rich
multilingual environment.

Call for Papers:

The XX International Conference on Minority Languages is pleased to
open its call for papers and contributions addressing at least one of
the five main topics of the conference to be delivered in one of the
four modalities described below.

Each proposal for a paper or contribution must include one main
presenter who would be the person with whom the organisation will keep
contact. We strongly advise against groups of 3 or more presenting a
single paper. In those cases, we recommend submitting it as a proposal
for a pre-constituted panel.
Please make sure, when presenting your proposal, that you clearly
highlight the main topic(s) your presentation hopes to address and
include at least three keywords.

The main topics of the conference are:
 1. Language Sustainability and Living Heritage
 2. Language Legislation and Regulation
 3. Language Education and Ethnoeducation
 4. Media in Minority/Minoritized Languages
 5. Language and Cosmogonies/Worldviews

During the conference, the presentations will be delivered in four
different modalities:
 - Individual paper presentations: Original research, whether
completed or being developed, is presented for 15 minutes. The
presentation is grouped with two or three other individual
presentations in a session. The organisation will try to group
individual presentations by topic, to ensure there is space for
dialogue and learning between the presentations. For this type of
proposal, a title and a 500-word abstract should be provided.
 - Pre-constituted panels: A group of 3-4 papers under an encompassing
topic are presented together, including a presentation panel leader.
The session will be 1 hour and 15 minutes long, including questions.
The time for each presentation within the panel should be allocated
accordingly by the panel convener. For this type of proposal, a title
for the panel and a 300-word abstract of the overarching topic should
be provided, as well as the titles of the presentations within the
panel and a 100-word abstract for each of them, including the
presentation title.
 - Poster presentations: Posters will be hung in an open area for all
conference participants to be able to see and read them during the
conference and specific times will be allotted for posters to be
presented. For the proposal, a title and a 300-word (max.) abstract,
and a description of the size of the poster would be required. Posters
should be a full (100cms x 70cms, or an A1 sheet) or half sheet (70cms
x 50cms or an A2 sheet). We might consider multimedia poster
presentations, but that would be studied on a case-by-case basis. Send
us and email if you are thinking of presenting the poster in a
different format.
 - Practitioner experience dialogues: For those who want to present
their practitioner experience, we would like to receive a short
2-minute audio or video recording (whether through a WAV, MOV or MP4
file, or through a link to a video/audio platform) or a 300-word
abstract (whichever is easier for you), describing the main aspects of
the experience that would be presented. A session with up to three
experiences lasting for 1 hour and 15 minutes will be arranged. This
is encouraged for those who feel more comfortable with oral-only
presentations and without the need of slides. Digital or audio
reproduction could be made available.

All proposals, regardless of modality, should also indicate which of
the main topics are being addressed (select up to two), include at
least three keywords, provide a 100-word biographical summary of each
of the participating presenters and include the language in which the
presentation will be held.
