10th International Conference on Language Documentation & Conservation:

Arts Sustaining Language

March 4-7, 2027

Honolulu, Hawai‘i, USA

http://www.icldc-hawaii.org

Language lives not only in grammar and lexicon but also in the creative practices of its speakers, as expressed through song, story, performance, crafting, and visual arts. Though traditionally viewed as ancillary to the documentary process, these creative practices are increasingly being incorporated into language documentation workflows. Moreover, the arts play a critical role in furthering and supporting language maintenance and reclamation efforts, helping to sustain intergenerational transmission among minoritized, ancestral, and diaspora languages.

CFP: Systematic Disorder: Russian Culture under Neoliberalism

Deadline: July 1, 2026

SYSTEMATIC DISORDER: RUSSIAN CULTURE UNDER NEOLIBERALISM

An international conference to be held on September 25-26, 2026,

at the Harriman Institute at Columbia University in New York

Organizers: Daria Ezerova (Cambridge), Mark Lipovetsky (Columbia),

and the Harriman Institute

Keynote: Masha Salazkina (Concordia)

Special Event: the launch of Russia’s New Imperialism: Capital and Ideology (Stanford University Press, forthcoming in September 2026) by Ilya Budraitskis and Ilya Matveev

For all participants, the Harriman Institute will cover travel expenses and a three-night stay in New York.

In the past few decades, a body of historical and theoretical work has emerged on neoliberalism that might radically alter our understanding of the decline and fall of the Soviet Union and the post-Soviet transition. It allows us to see beyond the narratives of the triumphant liberal world order of the 1990s, to read cultural shifts in relation to the transformation of the global economy from the crisis of the 1970s onward. Although the leadership of the late Soviet Union could not crush worker power, roll back the welfare state, deregulate financial markets, or enforce a new spirit of competitive individualism like their Western counterparts, they arguably already governed under the same straitened circumstances of the global economy after the oil shock. 1991 would provide the opportunity to finally shred the socialist state and turn its former citizens into faster guns than even those in the West. As communities held together by socialized labor, housing, and healthcare were torn apart, nationalism and conservatism, with their promises of the restoration of organic community, gained purchase.

CFP: Teaching Russian and Ukrainian History in the Shadow of War

Deadline: April 27, 2026

The impact of Russia’s war on Ukraine on the Slavic and East European Studies subject area has received much attention over the past four years. Most such discussions, however, have focused on the changing research environment, from declining archival access to debates over ‘decolonisation’. By contrast, the war’s impact on our teaching practice has received comparatively little attention. This lack of attention is problematic, since what students are taught about Russian and Ukrainian history has a major influence on how the war is understood and contextualised in wider society.

CFP: International Conference on Globalization in Languages, Education, Culture, & Communication

Deadline: April 30, 2026

The second International Conference on Globalisation in Languages, Education, Culture and Communication (GLECC2026) is going to be held 28-30 July 2026, Manchester, UK.

The past two decades have witnessed remarkable advancements in the studies into Education, Second and Foreign Languages, Translation and Interpreting, Cultural Studies, and Communication. This growth, evident in both the number of active researchers and the volume of scholarly throughput and outcomes, can be largely attributed to the forces of globalisation. Consequently, adopting the globalisation perspective is timely and provides a natural framework for connecting these diverse yet interlinked disciplines.

CFP: Religious Trauma Symposium (Harvard Divinity School)

Deadline: January 30, 2026

Call for Submissions: Religious Trauma Symposium Harvard Divinity School April 16-17, 2026

Scope: Religious trauma, defined here as lingering harm within religious and spiritual contexts which creates barriers to physical, emotional, existential, social, psychological, developmental, and spiritual wellbeing, is a subject of mounting scholarly and popular attention with direct implications for the challenges of modernity. Recent work on religious disaffiliation (McLaughlin et al.), religious “dones” (Van Tongeren), and spiritual struggles (Excline) highlights the influence of religious trauma in demographic changes around the world, particularly in the United States. Yet despite academic and professional interest across fields as diverse as psychology, education, and religious studies growing in tandem with parallel discourses among survivors and religious practitioners alike, there has yet to be an event designed to bring these various circles into direct dialogue with one another.
