Second Conference, Society for the History of Linguistics in the Pacific

The conference is open to all interested in linguistics and its history. We are particularly keen to solicit interest from historians, and for this reason we are running the conference concurrently with the Australian Historical Association Biennial Conference (http://www.theaha.org.au/conferences/aha_conference2010/). The theme of our conference is relevant to some of the subthemes of the AHA conference, including: Indigenous histories and Indigenous knowledge; Colonial encounters; and Place and history. However, papers are invited on not just the conference theme, but and any topic in the history of linguistics in the Pacific.
