Details for Submission

In previous years, this conference has taken place at Lancaster University but this year we are going digital. This means that the talks and social events will be held online, which will make the conference more accessible. The planning is happening across three different time zones, so we are already practising.

We are very much looking forward to receiving your abstracts if you are an MA or PhD-student. If you have any questions, please email laelpgconf2021@gmail.com.
