First peek at the 2020-2021 Academic Year virtual line-up!
Hello, friends!
We’ve been busy setting up a great series of lectures for the 2020-2021 academic year, and so far it looks like our virtual talks will be every bit as exciting as our in-person talks.
Take a look at the Forthcoming Events page for a preliminary draft of our speakers for the next two semesters, and don’t forget to visit the relevant Abstracts page regularly for more updates about the content of each talk.
Sociolinguistics in a time of COVID-19
Like many other aspects of our lives, the Leiden University Sociolinguistics Lecture Series this past semester has been cut short by the global COVID-19 pandemic.
The final lectures of our Spring 2020 series were understandably cancelled due to University policy regarding social distancing. However, the good news is that in the meantime, we have been planning the most effective ways to move the lecture series to an online platform.
While not ideal from the perspective of general conviviality, the lack of need for travel to and from Leiden that the online format entails will ensure that we are able to host a wider variety of speakers and reach a wider audience than our in-person series!
Planning for the online series is currently in its early stages, so stay tuned here for more information on the exciting topics we have in store for you for Fall 2020.
Until then, please stay safe! And remember:
This too shall pass!
И это тоже пройдёт!
این نیز بگذرد!
Bu da geçer ya Hu!
بۇمۇ ئۆتۈپ كېتىدۇ!
Kι αυτό θα περάσει!
Ook dit zal overgaan!
גם זה יעבור!
Bu ham o’tib ketadi!
Hoc quoque transibit!
