LSURC 2018’s Plenary Session:

Dr. Molly Babel (Dept. of Linguistics)

Dr. Muhammad Abdul-Mageed (School of Library, Archival and Information Studies)

TBA

The theme for LSURC's invited speakers for this year will be on Language as an insight into human nature: 

The studies of language span diverse fields but are united by the common theme that human language provides unique insight into how we come to understand human nature. Language is cognitive and cultural, internal and external, personal and social; the diversity of approaches taken in studying language enriches our understanding of who we are. How can the perspective of your field enrich our understanding of language, as a uniquely human phenomenon?

The Call for Papers deadline has closed. Register to volunteer or attend the conference by January 6th, 2018.
