Reading with NARNiHS
Reading Group
Reading with NARNiHS is a vibrant venue for engagement with cutting-edge work in historical sociolinguistics, accessible to researchers at all levels. Reading with NARNiHS combines aspects of “meet the author” + “authors read their works” + “author interview” + “classic reading group discussion” as we interact together with new scholarship and its authors.
Reading with NARNiHS takes place recurrently every few months, with each session featuring discussion of a new scholar and their research. Led by a NARNiHS moderator/discussant, the sessions provide an opportunity for participants to get to know an author and their work, with plenty of time for questions, creating an enriching one-hour exchange about current topics in historical sociolinguistics!
