centers and academic institutions at home and abroad, seminars,
symposia, and, eventually, a summer school. We hope to attract researchers who focus on fields such as
pragmatics, sociolinguistics, discourse analysis, conversation
analysis, anthropological linguistics, and who take a keen
interest in contemporary, ethnographic linguistic landscape
research. the launching of Aegean Working Papers in
Ethnographic Linguistics (AWPEL), an online, freeaccess

“Language, Gender and Sexuality”. We hope to be
able to publish this online journal on a biannual basis
(June and December) and we welcome proposals for
special issues and guest editors in the immediate
future (while eventually aiming at a quarterly
publication). a two-day symposium on ethnographic linguistics in
Greece and the Balkans in Fall 2016 (more details
