Linguistic Field(s): Sociolinguistics
Meeting Description:
Engaging with current issues facing urban research in Birmingham, the
Birmingham Cityscapes conference will provide a forum for academics,
scholars, practitioners, community leaders and local residents to discuss
urban research in the city, with a special focus on inter-disciplinary and
trans-disciplinary approaches. The conference will explore urban research
from a number of angles, while also addressing the perceived disconnect
between those driving change in the city and those researching the
experience of the individual in an urban environment. The conference also
aims to facilitate the development of new research networks and will provide
an opportunity for theoretical and applied knowledge transfer across the
public, private, voluntary, and academic sectors.
As the intersection of language, culture, and location play an integral role in
urban development, sociolinguists and experts in related fields are
encouraged to attend.
Conference registration is now open. Early Bird registration closes on 18th
April 2011. Please visit www.bcu.ac.uk/cityscapes for more information.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and
as such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a
registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-
6005986. These donations can be offset against your federal and
sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information
visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will
match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails
your contacting your human resources department and sending us a form
that the EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is
generally a simple administrative procedure that doubles the value of your
gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment
to check if your company operates such a program.
