For our first event, we would like to showcase the new and exciting research currently undertaken by PhD students across Modern Languages and related departments. The aim is also to provide a forum for doctoral researchers to present and receive feedback on their work in a supportive environment, particularly at a time when such opportunities may be more limited than in normal circumstances. As a result, we are planning to host a virtual seminar from 3-5pm (GMT) on Wednesday 3 June 2020, including four 15-minute presentations from doctoral researchers, followed by a Q & A session with all presenters. To ensure a supportive virtual environment, the seminar will only be open to those who register in advance and presenters will be able to choose whether they would like their presentation recorded/shared more widely after the event. We will also support presenters in advance to ensure they are comfortable and familiar with the virtual seminar format. If you?re interested in contributing to the seminar, please submit a title and brief abstract of around 150 words (200 max) on your proposed presentation, with your name, institution and year of PhD study/completion. Presenters should be either current or recently completed PhD students (within 1 year of their viva) from a languages or closely related department. In line with the series? aim, we will adopt an inclusive approach, both thematically and in terms of the languages of specialism of seminar speakers. Areas of potential but not exclusive interest include: digital cultural studies, digital archives and databases, digital ethnography, digital discourse analysis, language teaching and digital technologies, translation technologies and digital/computational approaches to the study of language and text (all with a primary focus on languages other than English). Proposals should be submitted by email by Friday 15 May (midnight GMT) to naomi.wells at sas.ac.uk and paul.spence at kcl.ac.uk. Please also contact us if you have any questions about contributing to the seminar. If you?re currently supervising digital research in Modern Languages, please also share this opportunity with any of your own PhD students who might be interested in contributing.

This two-day virtual workshop will bring together leading researchers, educators, digital practitioners, language-focused professionals, policy makers and other interested parties to address the challenges of multilingualism in digital spaces and to collectively present new models and solutions. The workshop will combine both conceptual (strategy, policy and theory) and practical perspectives (digital ecosystems, methods and tools with a focus on language). It is hosted by the AHRC-funded ?Language Acts & Worldmaking? project with the support of the ?Cross-Language Dynamics: Reshaping Community? project. The workshop will include a combination of lightning talks, demos, posters, panels and a mini-workshop, and we encourage participation on social channels.
