This symposium is being organized by the graduate student members of the Language and Society Discussion (LSD) Group and other graduate students with an interest in language and society at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, with the support of the ILLS committee.

This year’s co-chairs are Wafa Al-Alawi and Sarah Clark.

As we’ve grown, we have also had the pleasure of working alongside organizers from the Spanish/Portuguese and the French/Italian departments at UIUC whom we very much appreciate!
