This is the second call for abstracts for papers and posters for the 2012 conference Explorations in Ethnography, Language and Communication. The theme of the conference is ‘Analysis and Impact in Linguistic Ethnography’. We invite contributions from across disciplines and topics such as research on health, education, culture and identity.
