Institute on “Trans” Linguistic Research and Publishing

Host Institution: Penn State University, USA
Website:
https://iecp.la.psu.edu/institute-on-trans-linguistic-research-and-publishing/

Dates: 12-May-2025 - 16-May-2025
Location: State College Pennsylvania, USA

Minimum Education Level: Graduate students and early career scholars

Focus: Calling all graduate students and early career scholars
interested in receiving in-depth feedback on their research and
manuscripts! The Institute on "Trans" Linguistic Research and
Publishing invites proposals for its summer workshop. The objective of
this institute is to mentor graduate students and early career
scholars into research and publishing that expand the boundaries of
language studies. It will promote both new approaches to research and
new genres of writing that transgress limiting traditional paradigms
and practices. Deadline for proposals is January 24th 2025. You can
find more details at

Description:
“Trans” epistemologies question reductive binaries and hierarchies, as
in crip, queer, and decolonial scholarship. Drawing from this
movement, translingualism addresses resistant communicative practices
that transcend autonomous or labeled languages and words to include
expansive semiotic repertoires.  Connotations of “trans” extend into
transgressive and transformative approaches of research and inquiry.
Such approaches transgress traditional linguistics and communicative
norms, based on colonizing and homogenizing policies, to envision
practices that are more diverse and empowering. This institute
welcomes transformative inquiry and writing in any area of language
studies.
The focus on “language studies” includes a wide range of disciplines
such as composition, rhetoric, literacy, literature, sociolinguistics,
semiotics, language policies, language teaching, language program
administration, translation studies, and philosophies of language.
The objective of this institute is to mentor graduate students and
early career scholars into research and publishing that expand the
boundaries of language studies. It will promote both new approaches to
research and new genres of writing that transgress limiting
traditional paradigms and practices. This institute will be held
annually in May at Penn State University. Plans are underway to hold
similar institutes in other Global South locations, such as Sri Lanka
and Tunisia. Scholars in those regions will be able to attend them
more conveniently.
To encourage intensive face to face discussions, close textual
feedback, and collaborative learning, the institute will invite a
small number of participants. Those who attend are expected to submit
their works in progress or manuscripts toward preparing them for a
successful publication. Interspersed with plenary talks by experts on
research methods and publishing practices, the 5-day institute will
provide each participant extensive time to present their research
writing, receive in-depth feedback, and consult on revisions.
Financial Aid Applications accepted until 24-Jan-2025
Partial funding is available to support the participation of
outstanding scholars from disadvantaged
communities.
