Approaches to Migration, Language and Identity Conference 2025

The fifth conference on Approaches to Migration, Language, and Identity (AMLI 2025) takes place at Liverpool Hope University on September 8th to 9th, 2025.

Migration is one of the defining forces shaping the modern world. In the current landscape of continuous population flows driven by conflicts, climate change and economic pressures, migration is reshaping societies and foregrounding issues of language, identity and belonging. With its legacy as a maritime hub, Liverpool bears witness to centuries of linguistic encounters through migration and the forging of transcultural identities. Therefore, the organisers of AMLI 2025 welcomes submissions for paper and poster presentations from February 1st 2025 to March 31st. Scholars working on migration, language and identity in disciplines such as the humanities, disability studies, education, geography and social sciences are invited to submit their proposals. Proposals for research papers could cover, but are not restricted to, the following topic areas: 

1. Language, Migration and Technology
2. Lifestyle migration, language and identity
3. Language, transnationalism and identity
4. Migration, language and intersectionality
5. Historical cases of language and migration

The following distinguished plenary speakers will present at AMLI 2025 (in alphabetical order):

• Prof. Neli Demireva, University of Essex
• Associate Professor Catalina Montoya-Londono (Liverpool Hope University)
