Theme: Research and (Re)action
The LISO conference promotes interdisciplinary research and discussion
in the analysis of naturally occurring human interaction. Papers will
be presented by national and international scholars on a variety of
topics in the study of language, interaction, and culture.
The conference will feature plenary presentations by Dr. Lynnette
Arnold (University of Massachusetts, Amherst), Dr. Shannon Ward
(University of British Columbia, Okanagan), and Dr. Kevin Whitehead
(University of California, Santa Barbara). The conference will take
place on May 23rd and 24th, and will be followed on May 25th by a
symposium on “Representing Language and Its Users.”
This year, the conference theme is “Research and (Re)action.” This
theme invites research that is engaged with the sociopolitical
implications of language including: language and activism, language
and resistance, language and social justice, and community-engaged
approaches to research. We have put this theme forward in the hopes of
fostering conversations about the role of language, interaction, and
culture in the contemporary global sociopolitical climate.
The conference will take place in hybrid format, with presenters and
attendees both in person and online.
Plenary speakers:
Dr. Lynnette Arnold – University of Massachusetts, Amherst
Dr. Shannon Ward – University of British Columbia, Okanagan
Dr. Kevin Whitehead – University of California, Santa Barbara
