The Research Institute for the Study of Language in Urban Society (RISLUS) conducts research on language, literacy, bilingualism and their development within the context of urban societies. We are particularly interested in proposals that address the following subthemes:

• Multilingualism and inequality
• Minoritized languages in urban contexts
• Language and literacy education for newcomer multilingual students

Proposals must include:

• Title 
• Abstract (Up to 500 words)
• Information for all presenters, including name, affiliation, and contact information
• Preference for talk or poster

Proposals must be submitted online as .pdf file types. Use this link to submit your proposal digitally.

Presentation Formats:

Talk length: Talks will be 20 minutes, plus 10 minutes for discussion. 

Posters: There will be a 90 minute poster session during the lunch break providing for free-flow presentation and discussion. 

We invite posters that describe completed studies as well as Project Launches. The Project Launches are an opportunity for graduate students and post-docs at the early stages of a new project to present and discuss their plans, and get constructive feedback and advice. We are committed to ensuring a constructive and friendly discussion.
