23RD ANNUAL GRADUATE STUDENT CONFERENCE IN LINGUISTIC ANTHROPOLOGY

May 6-7 at University of Michigan, Ann Arbor

Join Us As We Consider The Theme:

(DIS)ENGAGEMENT

The annual Michicagoan Graduate Student Conference in Linguistic Anthropology focuses on the social and cultural analysis of linguistic and semiotic forms. The conference provides graduate students with an attentive forum in which to present their work and discuss it with faculty and other students. We welcome work from students at all stages, and we encourage participants to submit formal conference papers or to discuss dissertation proposals or research reports. Commentators for each panel are drawn from participating faculty.

This is a hybrid conference that encourages in-person participation while accommodating virtual participants who are not able to physically attend. The in-person component of the conference will be held on May 6th and 7th in Room B1580 of the Jeff T. Blau building at 700 East University Avenue at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. The conference will take place over the course of two full days. Please scroll down for registration, schedule, and other important information.

All participants attending the conference in person are required to be vaccinated and wear masks. We are continuing to monitor the conditions of the pandemic so please keep checking our COVID + Other Updates page for the latest news and information.

There is no registration fee for this conference. Transportation expenses for in-person Chicago student presenters will be covered. Meals will be covered for all in-person attendees.
