SUMMARY:Languages in the City Symposium
DESCRIPTION:\n\nCities are spaces where different cultures and languages meet. How do people use their languages in such urban environments? How are cityscapes marked by multilingualism? How do the institutional spaces in cities (for example, schools, governments and other organisations) engage with multilingual citizens? This two-day symposium, hosted in Utrecht from 7-8 April 2025, explores the multitude of linguistic practices – both formal and informal – that serve to “open up” or “close down” participation in urban spaces for various groups of people.\n\n\n\n\nThis symposium takes the notion of metrolingualism as a point of departure, focusing on “the ways in which people of different and mixed backgrounds use, play with and negotiate identities through language” (Otsuji & Pennycook 2010, 240 ) in cities, both past and present. We also consider the institutional aspects of linguistic diversity, in language policy and language practices in urban institutions. The programme will include paper presentations, creative events, networking opportunities, and city excursions. We invite abstract submissions for paper presentations of 20 minutes that focus on topics such as:\n\ntranslanguaging and multilingual practices in the city\nlinguistic landscapes\nurban youth languages\nthe languages of protest and civil disobedience\nmemory sites as language sites\nmultilingual education in urban schools\nlanguage brokering and multilingual communication practices (e.g. translation, interpreting and codeswitching) in high-stakes settings (e.g. healthcare and migration)\nlanguage and accessibility in urban culture\nlinguistic justice in the city.\n\nAbstract submissions for paper presentations can be sent to city.languages.utrecht@gmail.com ( mailto:city.languages.utrecht@gmail.com ). Please ensure that your submission includes:\n\na title\nan abstract of maximum 250 words (excluding references)\nthe names, affiliations and email addresses of the author(s)/presenter(s).\n\nThe deadline for abstract submission is 15 September 2024. You will be notified of the outcome of your submission by 30 September 2024. \nImportant information\n\nAbstract submission deadline: 15 September 2024\nNotification of outcome: 30 September 2024\nSymposium dates: 7-8 April 2025\nLocation: Utrecht (details to be announced)\nSymposium fee: None.
