The Forum for Research on Languages in Scotland and Ulster (FRLSU)
invites postgraduate research students (PGR/PhD) working on
language-focused projects related to Scotland and/or Ulster to take
part in an upcoming online event on 25th February 2026.
This event will centre on methodological approaches – we are
particularly interested in how you are conducting your research, what
methods you are using, the challenges you have encountered in studying
languages in these regions, and the innovations you have to share in
terms of how you are conducting your projects. Whether you are
approaching the end of your study or just starting out, this event
welcomes discussions of methodology at all stages of the PhD process.
What to expect on the day:
- 10-minute presentation slot per speaker
- Followed by Q&A and opportunities for feedback
- The event is intended to be an encouraging and constructive space
for discussing methodology and projects in progress
We welcome contributions from a broad range of disciplines and
perspectives, including (but not limited to) sociolinguistics,
historical linguistics, applied linguistics, education, policy,
literature, and translation studies.
To express interest, please send a short abstract (max 200 words)
outlining your project and its methodological focus to
frlsu_abdn at outlook.com by 18th January 2026.
After the event, participants will be invited to submit either a
short-form summary of their presentation or a longer academic article
based on their work for possible inclusion in FRLSU’s online
publication platform. All published work will be peer-reviewed and
published Open Access with an assigned DOI to help improve the
visibility of your research.
