University of Leeds, 23 -24 February 2018
ALL FOR ABSTRACTS
‘what sorow is for them that be refugiate in a
strange countrey, when they can not understand the language of that place in
whiche they be exiled: and when they can not make them to be understood by speach to the inhabiters of
that contrey, wherein they be retired’ – Jacques Bellot, 1586
The histories of migration and
language-learning are closely intertwined. In this British Academy Rising Star
engagement workshop, to be held at the University of Leeds, an
interdisciplinary group of early career researchers (ECRs) working on migration
and language-learning in historical perspective will engage with individuals
and organisations working on language education, policy, and activism in the
context of migration today. This workshop aims to bring together participants
from a variety of fields, working on periods from antiquity to the present day,
in order to stimulate new conversations and new relationships within and beyond
the academy.
Papers will be 20 minutes in length.
Participants will also be invited to contribute blogposts for a public website,
and to become founder members of a new network of researchers working on migration
and language-learning in historical perspective.
