Meeting Description:
Annual conference focused on the study of
linguistic landscapes (LL). The 2015 workshop,
to be hosted by the Berkeley Language Center at
the University of California, Berkeley, aims to
take up questions under the general theme
'Linguistic Landscape: Questioning Boundaries,
Opening Spaces.' In particular, the organizers
hope to encourage critical inquiry, reflection,
and exploration by inviting participants to
consider the productive nature of 'boundaries'
and 'spaces' on (at least) two levels: first,
as real-world phenomena that are observed,
inhabited, produced and transgressed by human
actors in the LL; and, on the meta-level, as
conceptual tools that can help us define,
question, and problematize the field.
Call for Papers:
The 2015 workshop will be comprised of sessions
with two types of presentations:
A. Individual research papers will be given 20
minutes for presentation and 5 minutes for
questions and discussion. Papers meaningfully
addressing the conference theme are
particularly encouraged, although contributions
on other topics are also welcome.
B. Reflections on practice will be given 10
minutes each, and will take place in a
roundtable setting. In their reflections,
presenters will address specific areas of
interest, and raise questions about topics
including: Teaching in and with the LL;
methodological challenges in conducting LL
research; LL and political activism; LL and
public policy; art in and with the LL; LL in
the media; LL in architectural planning. Other
suggestions are welcome.
Applicants may choose one of the three options
when submitting a proposal:
Option 1: Individual Research Paper only
Option 2: Reflection on Practice only
Option 3: Individual Research Paper and
Reflection on Practice
In particular, Option 3 is envisioned as a
unique opportunity for researchers to further
explore, reflect, receive feedback, and further
develop their projects.
All abstracts should be submitted online at
http://linguisticlandscape7.berkeley.edu
by November 1, 2014. Abstracts for Individual
Research Papers may be up to 300 words;
abstracts for Reflections on Practice may be up
to 200 words. Applicants for Option 3 will be
prompted to upload two separate abstracts. All
abstracts will be evaluated by two independent
reviewers.
Important Dates:
Online submission system open: August 15,
