As a part of its long-standing tradition, the first day of the GSFL Roundtable (July 30, 2020) will be devoted to the Emerging Scholars’ Day (ESD). This all-day event provides an excellent opportunity to discover more about the real-life challenges and opportunities of working within FL, FP, and related displines both inside academia (e.g. as researchers and educators) and outside of the academy (e.g. as professional consultants and activists). Please note that space for this event is extremely limited and will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. NB: Registration for the GSFL Roundtable and ESD will only be guaranteed once payment has been received in full.
