Concept Note:
In an era of global interaction, digital advancements, and critical
approaches to Linguistics and Literature, this conference seeks to
challenge equitable experiences, where diversity converges, providing
a unique space to rethink ‘criticality.’ It emerges to promote social
equity, justice, and critical thinking through Literary and Linguistic
tapestry. Connecting Voices Conference (CVC) invites Literature and
Linguistics scholars to investigate how language plays a central role
in ‘being critical,’ which explores the idea of ‘criticality’ as an
ongoing and forward-looking conception by resisting fixtures. The 3RD
International Conference aligns with an emphasis on critical thinking,
equity, and representation in Literary, Linguistic, and Cultural
discourse by exploring the idea of how and what it needs to be
critical in today’s world. This idea of being critical in Literature
and Linguistics foregrounds the equitable experiences of connecting
diverse voices, especially in the Global South, which advocates the
United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 10, aiming at
empowering the social, economic, and political inclusion of all by
promoting literary criticism, linguistic justice, and valuing
multilingual voices in academia and society. Simultaneously, it
encourages equitable access to knowledge, literature, and cultural
participation, connecting marginalized and underrepresented
perspectives through creative, literary, and scholarly expression
across Linguistics and Literary spaces across the Global South.
Embedded in Literary and Linguistic scholarship emerging from diverse
cultural contexts, the Connecting Voices Conference accentuates
criticality, promotes plurality, and rethinks the ways Literary and
Linguistic scholars respond and connect in this global transformation.
The 3RD International Conference examines how critical thinking
permeates into the Literary and Linguistic and invites scholars whose
work attends to the aesthetic, discursive, critical, and praxis
dimensions of interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary studies. The
researchers are encouraged to explore the possibilities of creating a
critical space for conversation, analysis, and connecting voices. The
3RD International Conference is a peer-reviewed scholarly event, and
invites original research contributions that question traditional
boundaries, amplify marginalized voices, and engage with the
plurality, connection, and criticality of linguistic and literary
experiences.
The 3rd International Conference has the following objectives:
 - Redefine critical thinking as a dialogic, participatory idea in
Literature and Linguistics
 - Promote equitable and inclusive representation in Literature and
Linguistic studies
 - Connect voices across Linguistic, Literary, and Cultural boundaries
 - Foster interdisciplinary Literary and Linguistic Praxis in the
Global South
CVC aims to create a platform for rich, interdisciplinary dialogue on
the intersections of linguistics, literature, and language. It
welcomes research exploring and building on the legacy of the 2019
‘Voices from the Periphery’ and 2022 ‘Post’ conference. This event
moves from ‘what follows’ to ‘what connects’, highlighting the
ethical, cultural, cognitive, and aesthetic ties that bind
contemporary scholarship in Literary and Linguistic tapestry.
