About the LPP Conference

The Multidisciplinary Approaches in Language Policy and Planning (LPP) conference brings scholars from different disciplines (language education, anthropology, political studies, social sciences, economics, linguistics, and more) whose work centers on language policy and planning at different levels: local, national and/or international. The LPP conference was created by Dr. Tom Ricento in 2012 at the University of Calgary, where it was hosted until 2016. In 2017, the LPP conference moved to Toronto, where it was co-hosted by Dr. Jeff Bale and Dr. Eve Haque at OISE/University of Toronto until 2019. After eight successful years, LPP2020 was cancelled due to COVID-19 but LPP2021 will be co-hosted by Dr. Mela Sarkar and Dr. Amir Kalan at McGill University in Montréal, Canada.

Montréal is the largest city in the province of Québec, the only province in Canada where French is the official language. The city, however, is linguistically, culturally and ethnically diverse, a fact that contributes to the city's multilingual nature. As such, LPP2021 will be introducing the Plurilingual Experience: we will accept submissions of abstracts written in English or French (Canada's official languages) but papers can be delivered in any language, and presenters will be able to translanguage if they wish. More information will come soon.

Registration is now open for the conference presenters and attendees. Please register here: https://www.conftool.com/lpp2021/

General Call for Papers
We invite papers, discussion sessions, and colloquia that approach language policy from a variety of theoretical and methodological perspectives, and in a variety of contexts, from the local/institutional to the national/global.

Abstracts of up to 300 words are welcome that address topics such as (but not limited to):

Monolingual, bilingual, multilingual, and plurilingual policies
Heritage language policies
Indigenous language policies
Multicultural and intercultural policies
Official & non-official language policies
Language-in-education policies/school policies
Language attrition and language revitalization policies
Language policy and political economy
Language policy, globalization, and superdiversity
Language policy and the workplace
Language policy and lingua franca
Language policy and Indigeneity
Language policies and transnational communities
Signed language policies and Deaf studies
Language policy and anti-racism/anti-oppression
Language policy and political theory
National identities and language policies
Community and family language policies
Language policy and economics
Research methods of language policy inquiry

We foresee various session structures, including: overviews of a specific program (e.g., how a local, regional, or provincial language policy supports language revitalization programming, in which government representatives, teachers, and curriculum developers co-present); discussion sessions in which policy-actors in a particular sector engage in discussions about common issues and challenges they face in their work; and practitioner-research sessions that present findings from inquiry into a given language policy initiative.

Language of presentation: English OR French (Canada's official languages) OR additional languages.
