2026 Research Incubator

The North American Research Network in Historical Sociolinguistics (NARNiHS) will hold its eighth annual NARNiHS Research Incubator, 07-09 May 2026.

The 2026 NARNiHS Research Incubator is an entirely online event (with free registration). This event offers an opportunity for scholars in historical sociolinguistics from all over the world to participate in cutting edge research without the limitations imposed by international travel. We encourage our fellow historical sociolinguists and scholars from related fields in our global scholarly community to join us online for our Research Incubator this spring.
