**DEADLINE TUESDAY 11 FEB 2020**
UK Language Policy After Brexit began life in 2016 at Sheffield Hallam University,
just a few months after the Brexit referendum, to take immediate stock and consider
possible effects on language policy around the UK. In subsequent years, presentations
have focused in on the detailed effects of Brexit with regard to language policy
around the UK. We are delighted to continue this successful and free series of
conferences in 2020, the first time the conference will actually take place *after*
Brexit!
Each year UKLPAB is hosted in a different UK nation. In 2019 Northern Ireland hosted
(https://sites.google.com/view/uklpab/2019). In 2020, UKLPAB comes to England,
specifically to the University of the West of England, Bristol. The local committee
chair will be Dr Charlotte Selleck, Senior Lecturer in Linguistics. We thank
Multilingual Matters and UWE's Faculty of Arts, Creative Industries and Education for
their generous support in making UKLPAB free for presenters and attendees.
Each year we also invite a plenary speaker from the previous host nation. In 2020,
the plenary speaker will be Philip McDermott, Senior Lecturer in the School of
Applied Social and Policy Sciences at Ulster University. His talk is titled
'Language, Power and Identity Politics: Continuing Challenges for Today’s Europe'.
Our theme for 2020 will be 'Official vs. Unofficial Language Policy'. Our full call
for papers, as well as Philip's plenary abstract, can be found on the website:
https://sites.google.com/view/uklpab/2020. Please head along and either submit your
abstract or register as an attendee (both free).
Please spread the word! Hopefully see you in Bristol!
