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

Presentation Formats:

Talks: Talks will be 20 minutes, with 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.
