AMLI is an interdisciplinary conference that showcases international

defining forces shaping the modern world. In the current landscape of
continuous population flows driven by conflicts, climate change and
economic pressures, migration is reshaping societies and foregrounding
issues of language, identity and belonging. With its legacy as a
maritime hub, Liverpool bears witness to centuries of linguistic
encounters through migration and the forging of transcultural
identities. Scholars working on migration, language and identity in

geography and social sciences are invited to submit their proposals.

AI in different applied contexts, e.g. health, education

legal services in host language(s) and issues of privacy and
surveillance
e) The language used in media representations of migrants
2. Lifestyle migration, language and identity
a) Language and identity in retirement migration
b) Lifestyle migrants' emotional connection (or lack thereof) to new
places
c)  The connection between language, identity and social status
3. Language, transnationalism and identity

English
