The Language, Interaction, and Social Organization (LISO) Graduate Student Organization at UCSB & The Center for Language, Interaction and Culture (CLIC) Graduate Student Association at UCLA are pleased to host:

The 25th Annual Conference on Language, Interaction, and Social Organization
Where: University of California, Santa Barbara, McCune Conference Room
When: May 17-18, 2019

The LISO conference promotes interdisciplinary research and discussion in the analysis of naturally occurring human interaction. Papers will be presented by national and international scholars on a variety of topics in the study of language, interaction, and culture.

This year's conference theme is "Disrupt and Advance." We understand 'disrupt' broadly as actions or ideas that intervene in or challenge the established theoretical, institutional, or narrative frame. The emphasis on disruption is an intentional examination of disciplinary constraints. By including 'advance' we hope to encourage submissions that operationalize critique into praxis.
