Foci include reconceptualizing global innovations in language policy and planning, employing novel research methodologies in language policy, and promoting language rights to preserve minoritized languages. To submit to the LPReN Call for proposals, select ONE of the three areas: Theory, Method, or Advocacy and clearly indicate the selection on your proposal. Theory: Exploration of the theoretical constructs, origins, potential, and philosophical implications of language policy, politics, and planning as they relate to the structures, individuals, communities, and societies within and among which they are undertaken. Method: Identification and explication of the means through which language policymaking, management, and planning take shape, including identification of the particular overt and covert activities, parties, and institutions that constitute methods employed to burden, obstruct, or facilitate the implementation of policy. Also, critical examination of research methods for investigating language policy texts and practices including issues of ethics and research design in language policy research. Advocacy: Engagement with of the role of power, elitism, prejudice, privilege, exclusivity, and hegemony in acts associated with language policy; engagement in activities to expose majoritarian narratives and highlight language rights, promote heritage language maintenance and prosperity, and resolve conflicts among language communities and in organizations.
