Invited Speakers
We are excited to announce two of our invited speakers for this year’s roundtable session: Dr. Molly Babel from the UBC Dept. of Linguistics, and Dr. Muhammad Abdul-Mageed from the UBC School of Library, Archival and Information Studies. They will be speaking to the theme of Language as an insight into human nature:
The studies of language span diverse fields but are united by the common theme that human language provides unique insight into how we come to understand human nature. Language is cognitive and cultural, internal and external, personal and social; the diversity of approaches taken in studying language enriches our understanding of who we are. How can the perspective of your field enrich our understanding of language, as a uniquely human phenomenon?
All information and online forms is also be available on our website.
