Language and Authority: Linguistics of Migration
From July 31 to August 4, HSE Nizhny Novgorod will hold the Russian Summer School in Political Linguistics, bringing in a host of international experts to offer their unique perspectives to the programme.
Between July 31 and August 4, HSE Nizhny Novgorod will host the 2014 International Summer School in Political Linguistics called, ‘Language and Authority: Linguistics of Migration.’
The Summer School is a continuation of a series of events to broaden this area at HSE’s Nizhny Novgorod Campus. Such events include the start of a new bachelor’s programme in fundamental and applied linguistics and a new master’s programme in political linguistics, as well as academic conferences and round tables on the lingo-cultural adaptation of migrants.
The Summer School programme will see the participation of leading experts in the field of political linguistics: Professor Sharon Rivera (Hamilton College, U.S.) will conduct instrumental workshops and simulation exercises for participants, and Professor Andrey Makarychev (University of Tartu, Estonia) will discuss the methodology for analyzing foreign policy discourse.
Student participants of the Summer School will be able to talk with experts about their research projects concerning the linguistic problems of migration policy. After all, one of the main goals of the School is to take regional discussions to a new and significant level, as well as to integrate young researchers into the global academic arena.
Deputy Director of HSE’s Nizhny Novgorod campus and one of the School’s organisers:
'The problem of migration is relevant for our country and this relevance is recognized by both the many different levels of government and by employers. At the same time, the pace and methods under which this issue is being addressed is markedly different in various regions of Russia. For example, in Moscow and St. Petersburg, which are faced with the problem of labour migration from other regions, have already developed a lot of specific measures for migrant adaptation. The Nizhny Novgorod region is unfortunately a little behind in this respect.
The experience of European countries, which have long been facing the problem of labour migration and have a set of interesting developments in the field, is far from being fully implemented into issues of migration policy'.
Professor of Hamilton College (U.S.):
'The Higher School of Economics is an internationally recognized educational institution that conducts high-level research. I am glad to have the opportunity to interact with professors and students from the HSE, and I hope to continue working with them in the future.
Immigration is currently a hot topic in American politics. Almost everyone in the U.S. agrees on the need for comprehensive immigration reform, but the views of the two main political parties differ in the practical realization of this issue. I am a supporter of open immigration policy and I think migration brings society not only economic benefits, but social ones as well'.
