Call for papers: 10th Explorations in Ethnography Language and Communication, University of Copenhagen, Denmark, 18-19 August 2025. Deadline: 18 November 2024. Deadline extended to 18 January 2025.
At the 10th Anniversary EELC conference, organizers invite scholars working at the interface between linguistics and ethnography to interrogate and explore the affordances and challenges in today’s academic landscape. Linguistic ethnographers, as other human and social scientists, contribute to the understanding of important and difficult societal developments such as AI, digital technology, political instabilities and war, climate change and increasing demographic diversity. The EELC10 will be an occasion to take stock of the present research and the future potentials.
The plenary speakers all work with pertinent societal questions:
Charles Briggs (US) continues to advance our understanding of e.g. inequality, health, and the politics of knowledge.
Adrienne Lo (US) interrogates diversity, racialization and ideologies of multilingualism.
Caroline Tagg (UK) uncovers how language, digital technologies and digital
communication practices are deeply embedded into individuals’ wider social, economic, and political lives.
Line Møller Daugaard (DK) illuminates the challenges and possibilities of cultural diversity and multilingualism in education.
