Sheffield Literacies and Language Conference: Towards (extra)ordinary literacies and linguistic futures

There is a call for abstracts for the Sheffield Literacies and Language Conference: Towards (extra)ordinary literacies and linguistic futures to be held 14-15 June 2024 in Sheffield, UK. It is organised by Sheffield Hallam University and University of Sheffield. The deadline for proposals is 1 March 2024.
They "invite you to explore possible futures, and the role of language, and of course literacies, in imagining new realities, beyond ‘standard’ language/s and deficit understandings of language/s. Our conference theme of futures builds on the developing body of research and scholarship in language-focused fields - including, but not limited to intercultural communication, literacies, applied linguistics and sociolinguistics - which calls on scholars to not take language for granted. This includes research which engages with post-human and new materialist philosophies, embracing the embodied nature of language"
You can submit proposals for papers, posters, workshops or colloquia.
