Invitation

Queen's University Belfast is pleased to announce its 1st Interdisciplinary Linguistics Conference (ILinC), a student-led initiative co-organized by the Schools of Education, English, and Modern Languages.  This two-day conference is designed to offer participants a stimulating and friendly forum in which they may present and discuss their research findings.  Additionally, the event aims at bringing together researchers from different academic divisions carrying out language studies in order to foster cross-disciplinary contact.

This year's conference theme is Crossing Boundaries: The Impact of Language Studies in Academia and Beyond.  With this theme we seek to look into the role played by language studies both within the academic scenario and outside it, paying special attention to the relevance of current language research findings to society in general.

The following distinguished scholars have confirmed their participation at the conference:

  • Prof. Deborah Cameron (University of Oxford);
  • Prof. Michael Halliday (University of Sydney);
  • Prof. Ruqaiya Hasan (Macquarie University).


Key date

  • Conference: 14-15 October 2011 (Friday and Saturday)
