CALL FOR CHAPTERS: “Immigrants, Refugees, Asylum-Seekers, and Forensic Linguistics”
The Germanic Society for Forensic Linguistics (GSFL) is issuing its first call for original chapters for a forthcoming book on: Immigrants, Refugees, Asylum-Seekers, and Forensic Linguistics.
According to recent statistics released by the United Nations, every 60 seconds, 24 people around the world are forced to flee their homes to escape war and persecution. In the year 2015, this development meant that 65.3 million people were registered as being displaced. Today it is estimated that 1 in every 113 people is classified as an asylum-seeker, a refugee, or an internally displaced person. In an effort to process this unprecedented number of people in need, many government agencies have increasingly sought the services of forensic linguists to help determine the true origin of applicants seeking refuge.
The purpose of this publication is to provide a critical examination of the historical and contemporary application of FL/FP methods used in the decision-making processes affecting immigrants, refugees, and asylum-seekers.
Chapters focusing on any of the following sub-areas are welcome:
Language and Law;
Translation and Interpretation;
Forensic Phonology and Phonetics;
Forensic Linguistics and Ethics;
Forensic Linguistics and Education.
Case studies of individual countries as well as international comparisons are equally welcome. Interested authors are invited to submit a book chapter proposal (max. 1,000 words) with a preliminary reference list to GSFL President and Co-founder, Dr. I. M. Nick mavi.yaz@web.de.
All proposals must be prepared for blind review, without any reference to the author(s)).
Important Dates
Extended Deadline for Book Chapter Proposals: March 1, 2017
Notification of Acceptance: April 1, 2017
First Draft of Book Chapters: October 15, 2017
Final Draft of Book Chapters: January 15, 2017
Projected Date of Publication: Spring 2018
Final book chapters must be between 5,000-7,000 words and comply with the publication guidelines of Vernon Press http://vernonpress.com/ download?f=htsm All submissions must be also original contributions and may not be under consideration for possible publication elsewhere. For more information about this book project, please feel free to contact GSFL President and Co-founder, Dr. I. M. Nick (mavi.yaz@web.de).
We look forward to receiving your submission!
