Migration has long been a defining force of globalization, but its
impact is experienced unequally across different regions. The Global
South, in particular, bears the brunt of migration’s complex social,
economic, and linguistic ramifications. Whether driven by economic
disparity, political unrest, or digital labor economies, migration
reconfigures how language functions. It not only serves as a medium of
communication, but it is used as a tool of power, negotiation,
resistance, and identity formation in migration circuits.
This year’s conference foregrounds the perspectives of the Global
South as it emphasizes how migration, be it internal rural-to-urban,
transnational South-to-North, or through emerging digital platforms,
transforms linguistic practices, language ideologies, and
communicative norms. We aim to foster critical dialogue on how
language mediates mobility, labor, belonging, marginalization, and
resilience in the context of migration from and within the Global
South – a much fitting theme for the migration linguistics conference
happening in a country whose economy is deeply affected and driven by
migration.
In this second international conference on migration linguistics,
plenary and invited speakers who will discuss the nexus of language
and migration include:
Hans Ladegaard (Hong Kong Polytechnic University)
Stefanie Shamila Pillai (Universiti Malaya)
Ron Bridget Vilog (De La Salle University)
Anitha Devi Pillai (National Institute of Education, Nanyang
Technological University)
We welcome proposals for paper presentations, panels, workshops, and
creative formats that engage with the following (but not limited to)
sub-themes:
Language and Labor Migration in and from the Global South
Language, Power, and Resistance in Migrant Communities
Digital Migration and Linguistic Shifts
Language Loss, Maintenance, and Revival in Diasporic Communities
Language Policy, Citizenship, and the Migrant Experience
Multilingualism, Translanguaging, and Identity among Migrants
Migration Narratives and Discourse Analysis
Education, Language Access, and Migrant Learners
Contemporary Migration, Social Transformation, and Sustainable
Development
