The Arctic is a site of huge sociolinguistic changes.

Historically, different types of migration have led to complex sociolinguistic situations with language ideologies and policies, implicitly or explicitly, supporting certain linguistic practices while suppressing others.

The contemporary sociolinguistic situation in the Arctic calls for an engagement with language ideologies and inequality, examining the diverse and unpredictable ways in which language form part of everyday inequalities.

This conference invites papers examining and discussing issues within this context.

Research presented at the conference does not have to be directly based on work in the Arctic area, but it should be clear how it is relevant to these contexts.

Organizers welcome research from all areas of sociolinguistics and related fields, such as discourse studies, linguistic anthropology, and applied linguistics

Paper presentations are 20 minutes.

There is no conference fee, and the conference language will be English.

Online presentations will not be possible, while online attendance as audience is possible.

For submission, please send an abstract of app. 300 words to liia_conf@uni.gl.

In case of questions, please e-mail the organizers (Tikaajaat Kristensen, Christoph Hare Svenstrup and Marie Maegaard), also at liia_conf@uni.gl.
