The CLCR Events Series has been a constant and innovative focal point for research on or connected with Language, Linguistics and Communication (broadly defined). The Series has held regular research meetings since at least 1993, welcoming scholars from around the world to share their ideas.<\/p>\n
Today, our meetings comprise a wide range of academic and academically-related gatherings. These include conventional ‘Visiting Speaker’ seminars as well as Networking Roundtables which provide for group discussion of interests and possible future projects around a common theme; “minilloquia”, mini-colloquia which allow several speakers to present their research or thinking and “sliminars” small seminars where more discursive and participatory formats feature.<\/p>\n
We welcome audience members from the Language and Linguistics section in ENCAP as well as Humanities and Social Science colleagues and indeed staff across the University and anyone beyond it. Diversity in our audience enriches discussions. This year, we will also be holding events which focus on collective research activities: reflecting on and doing research together.<\/p>\n
