CIRCE Online Seminar | 07/07/2025 | Prof. Sender Dovchin | "Accentism as a Form of Linguistic Racism: Unpacking Power, Prejudice, and Emotionality"
by Claudia Soria 02 Jul '25

02 Jul '25

*🎓 *We are happy to announce the next webinar in the CIRCE online seminar series organized by the CIRCE <https://www.circe-project.eu/> project in collaboration with DFCLAM University of Siena <https://www.dfclam.unisi.it/en>, H2IOSC <https://www.h2iosc.cnr.it/> project and CNR-ILC <https://www.ilc.cnr.it/en/>. *Prof. Sender Dovchin* /Curtin University, Australia/ */Accentism as a Form of Linguistic Racism: Unpacking Power, Prejudice, and Emotionality/* 📅 *July 7, 2025* 🕓 *2:00 PM – 3:00 PM (CEST)* *Venue*: Online *Attendees*: Researchers, secondary school teachers, language instructors *Summary: *Accentism is one of the key features of linguistic racism. It is a form of linguistic discrimination against individuals not only based on their accents but also on their race. Accentism functions as a potent social marker that invokes judgements about a speaker’s race, intelligence, credibility and belonging. Accentism should always be understood at the intersectionality of racism because one’s accent is never judged by separation from the language users’ race. In this presentation, I examine multilayered consequences of accentism, with the aim of advancing scholarly understanding of how accent-based discrimination functions as a pervasive form of linguistic racism. English as an Additional Language or Dialect (EAL/D) people in Australia frequently report being misunderstood due to their accents. These experiences are not isolated or incidental – they are shaped by entrenched powerful ideologies about the standardized and dominant language system. Prejudice caused by accentism against the racialized language users could pose serious emotional harms, leading to linguistic inferiority complexes such as social withdrawal, a sense of non-belonging, low self-esteem, fear, and anxiety. The accumulation of these inferiority complexes further instigates severe depressive symptoms of mental health, such as suicidal ideations, eating disorders, substance abuse and depression. Accentism is a critical issue in social justice and calls for systemic interventions to disrupt accent-based discrimination. I conclude this presentation by discussing the pedagogical implications for language educators. I emphasize the importance of taking an integrated approach to address accentism and its emotional and psychological harms together in order to transform language education. *Bio: *Professor Sender Dovchin is currently a Senior Principal Research Fellow at the School of Education, Curtin University, Australia. She is also an Australian Research Council Fellow and a Japan Society for the Promotion of Science Research Fellow. Previously, she worked at the University of Aizu, Japan and National University of Mongolia. Professor Dovchin was also an Editor-in-Chief of the Australian Review of Applied Linguistics - national top journal. Professor Dovchin is a world-leading applied linguist who has been twice recognised by The Australian Research Magazine—in 2021 and 2024—as the top linguist in the nation and among the top 250 researchers across all fields in Australia. She is also ranked in the top 2% of the most cited scholars globally, according to the Stanford University citation database. As a proud Mongolian background woman, she actively incorporates Southern theories, including Indigenous perspectives, into her work.

IndiREAD Workshop – 3rd Call for Papers
by Iza Skrjanec 30 Jun '25

30 Jun '25

IndiREAD Workshop 2025: 3rd Call for Papers Saarbrücken, Germany, November 26-27, 2025 IndiREAD is a workshop jointly organized by the ERC Project "Individualized Interaction in Discourse" IDDISC [1] and the MultiplEYE COST [2] action "Enabling multilingual eye-tracking data collection for human and machine language processing research". While experimental research in reading has a long tradition in identifying key factors that influence reading patterns--including text properties such as font difficulty, word and structure frequency, word predictability, and dependency length--recent studies have emphasized the importance of individual variability in reading behaviour (e.g., Haeuser & Kray, 2024; Kuperman et al., 2018; Nicenboim et al., 2016; Staub, 2021). This work has linked individual variability in reading patterns to differences in working memory capacity, reading skills, linguistic experience, and domain expertise among readers. This informs our understanding of how text characteristics and individual reader attributes interact to shape eye movements during reading. IndiREAD aims to bring together researchers interested in investigating individual differences in reading using both experimental and computational approaches. This workshop will focus on methods such as eye-tracking, self-paced reading, and the Maze task, with particular interest in how reading behaviour is correlated with individual differences. We also encourage submissions of computational models for eye movements or reading behavior that shed light on the mechanisms behind these differences. The goal is to foster collaboration between experimental and computational researchers to better understand individual variability among readers. We especially welcome submissions of reading time experiments and modelling of languages beyond English. The IndiREAD Workshop invites submissions of abstracts addressing the following questions:  * How do individual differences impact the way people read? * How do reading patterns vary across different languages, particularly in bilinguals? * How do reading patterns change across the lifespan? * Which individual difference measures are most suitable for capturing variability in reading patterns? * How can we evaluate psycholinguistic theories of reading and sentence processing across languages? * How can computational models account for individual differences in reading? * How does text adaptation influence reading patterns and comprehension among different individuals? * What statistical methods are best suited for reliably identifying latent groups and relating individual differences to reading performance? Workshop dates: November 26-27, 2025 Workshop format: The workshop will be held in-person in Saarbrücken, Germany. It will feature presentations from invited speakers, as well as contributions based on workshop submissions. The format of the presentations (oral or poster) will be determined based on the number of submissions we receive. Submission deadline: July 23, 2025. Submissions: The abstracts must not exceed 1000 words for the text (excl. captions), 10000 characters for references, and a maximum of 2 tables or figures. Abstracts should be submitted in PDF format, with 2.54 cm margins on all sides and 12 point font size, single-spaced. Please indicate up to three appropriate keywords for your abstract, which will be used for session planning. Abstracts must be written in English and should include a clear title but no information revealing the author(s). We welcome submissions for work that is being considered by other conferences, workshops, or journals. Templates for formatting in LaTeX and Word are provided on the conference website. Submission platform: https://openreview.net/group?id=IndiREAD/2025 Volunteer reviewers: We also invite all interested parties with relevant research experience to volunteer to help review abstracts for the workshop. All reviewers should hold a PhD. Please indicate your interest using the following form: https://forms.office.com/e/0fGmHW7q11 Conference website: https://www.uni-saarland.de/indiread [3] Contact email: indiread(a)lst.uni-saarland.de Travel grants: This workshop is sponsored by the MultiplEYE COST Action, which will provide financial support to cover travel expenses for a limited number of participants. Authors will be invited to apply for travel funding upon abstract acceptance. Funding may be partial, and priority will be given to junior researchers.
