The i-Mean conference is be held in Bristol (June 19-21, 2024), and some of the UK-based AFLS members (at the moment Liv Walsh, Daniel McAuley and Emmanuelle Labeau) are planning a panel on inclusion related to French with a very broad focus on inclusion/exclusion in youth language, French varieties in supplementary schools and language learning in UK schools.
We would love to see more AFLS members get together in Bristol so if you are interested in taking part, please contact Emmanuelle [e.labeau@aston.ac.uk] by November 10th.
Looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones!
