The Doshisha University Institute for the Liberal Arts (Kyoto), in
cooperation with the University of Bremen (Germany), is initiating the
first colloquium for young researchers in the field of
sociolinguistics. We invite graduate students, postdoctoral, and
early-career researchers to participate in our colloquium and present
their current work. The aim of the colloquium is to connect young
scholars in the field of sociolinguistics (broadly imagined) and
provide a supportive space to discuss their ongoing research. Our
focus is to provide a forum for feedback for emerging academics and
their unfinished research projects. The conference will be an
in-person only event, and the conference presentation language will be
English (with support for Japanese, German, and Spanish during the Q&A
and informal spaces).
The colloquium will be held at Doshisha University (Imadegawa), on 12
July 2025. Depending on the interest of participants,  we plan on
several thematic sessions to group scholars of similar sub-fields
together, to create an ideal working environment. Each participant
will have 10 minutes to present, preparing the audience and the
mentors for a 20-minute discussion guided by the presenter. This
should leave ample room for feedback and productive criticism. As we
are focusing on young researchers, we will refrain from charging a
participation fee. We will reserve space for lunch at a local,
reasonably-priced restaurant. We also plan to invite all participants
for informal drinks in Kyoto after the Colloquium.
The guiding topic of the Colloquium is “Critical Sociolinguistics in a
Modern World”, focusing on Japan, Japanese, or any other context
worldwide. The invitation is open to any approach within
sociolinguistics as well as researchers outside of linguistics
interested in language. We welcome submissions from all areas of
sociolinguistics, including but not limited to:
-Language and Power
-Language Ideologies
-Multilingualism and Linguistic Inequality
-Race, Ethnicity, and Linguistics Discrimination
-Gender, Sexuality, and Language
-Migration, Mobility, and Language
-Digital Communication
-Ethnography of Communication
-Pragmatics
-Postcolonial Language Studies, Indigenous Language Studies, and
Decolonial Linguistics
