Call for papers, inaugural ELAN conference: Linguistic Anthropology in Europe: Past, Present, Futures, Leiden University, 6-7 November 2025. Deadline: 15 May 2025, extended to 1 June 2025.
The goal of this first conference of ELAN, the Linguistic Anthropology Network of EASA (European Association of Social Anthropologists), is to bring together a wide range of scholars interested in doing and defining linguistic anthropology in the European context, whether Europe is their fieldsite, institutional base, or European scholars are simply key interlocutors.
In this conference, organizers invite linguistic anthropologists, broadly defined, to come together to explore the range of theoretical and methodological approaches that have composed and now compose linguistic anthropological scholarship in Europe and to imagine future possibilities and directions for carrying out linguistic anthropological research in and on Europe. They welcome papers, panels, and roundtables that showcase scholars’ own linguistic anthropological scholarship, examine intersections and dialogues between different theoretical traditions, and/or reflect on the past, present and future of linguistic anthropology in Europe.
