22nd International Conference: IAWE
Local and Global Contexts of World Englishes
(June 30-July 2, 2017)
We would like to welcome you the 22nd IAWE Conference, held at Syracuse University. SU is a fitting location given the topic of the conference: the conference will feature lectures and workshops on a broad, interdisciplinary array of topics, including the sub-themes Information Studies, Computer and Electrical Engineering, Linguistic and Cognitive Sciences to International Business, English, Composition and Rhetoric, Media, Global Affairs and Policy Studies. SU is fortunate to have a diverse and vibrant community of students and faculty, with over 20% of its student body being international, and we are excited to host such a globally-focused event. We look forward to seeing you here in Syracuse, NY!
Learn more about the conference venue.
A special attraction of the Syracuse conference will be that it will feature a symposium in memory of the founder and dominant scholar of the field of World Englishes, Professor Braj B. Kachru, who passed away in July 2016.
