IAFL15: THE FIFTEENTH CONFERENCE OF THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF FORENSIC LINGUISTS
The 15th Biennial Conference of the International Association of Forensic Linguists (IAFL) will be hosted by the Aston Institute for Forensic Linguistics (AIFL), Aston University, Birmingham, UK from Monday 13 September to Wednesday 15 September 2021.
After careful consideration of the current circumstances and due to uncertainties surrounding travel to the UK, we have decided to hold the conference entirely online.
To avoid the inevitable internet connection problems, all presentations will need to be pre-recorded and uploaded onto our system. The pre-recorded talks will be played during the conference in parallel sessions and there will be opportunities for a live Q&A for each presenter. Alongside this traditional schedule format, presentations will be made available to the registered participants 48 hours in advance (subject to presenters’ permission) on a dedicated website to make sure participants from different time zones don’t miss out.
Instructions on how to prepare and upload the videos will be sent to the presenters by 5 July.
Registration
There are two deadlines for registration:
- If you are presenting a paper, you must register by 30 July 2021. This will enable the organisers to give you access to the dedicated website so that you can upload your pre-recorded talk.
- If you are NOT presenting a paper, you can register by 31 August 2021.
