LSS Events

Here at AIFL, we aim to improve the delivery of justice through linguistic analysis and we have designed an exciting programme this year to demonstrate many of the ways in which we work to achieve this goal, covering four major themes in forensic linguistics across four days: Authorship Analysis, Spoken Interactions, Harmful Discourse, and Disputed Meaning.  You MUST be over the age of 18 years old to attend.

For a more in depth programme, please see our page on the Aston website: https://www.aston.ac.uk/research/forensic-linguistics/events/international-summer-school

'Practising Participatory Research' will introduce community organisation leaders, teachers, researchers, and academics to different ways of engaging and understanding their own communities and collaborating with community members to win change. The methods will include community campaigning and organising, photo and video production, and visual research methods led by experts with experience working in a variety of different contexts. The workshops will provide an opportunity to practice the methods with other participants and reflect on your experiences and the potential applicability of those methods and collaboration between academics and community workers in your own community, work, teaching, and work contexts.

The Sexualities in the Social Sciences Research Network event will be the launch of a UK sexualities network that enables collaboration between UK academics to facilitate larger scale research and knowledge exchange activity. This event will involve networking, ideation of core goals of network, and establishment of activities for the year and next steps.
