A call for papers has been announced for the first conference on "Language Diversity in Wales," which will be held 18-19 July 2014 at the National Library of Wales, Aberystwyth.
"The conference aims to provide a forum for those interested in the language diversity of Wales. The event is conceived in a broad way and is not restricted to purely linguistic topics. The forum is also open to researchers with literary perspectives, to those interested in translation studies, and to researchers from the fields of media, arts, and anthropology insofar as they are working on topics connected with the language diversity of Wales."
"Abstracts for both papers and posters should not exceed 300-350 words including references and should be submitted via EasyChair. Presentations should be 20 minutes in length, and will be followed by 10 minutes of discussion."
"The deadline for abstracts is Wednesday 15th of January 2014."

Call for Papers -- CSANA at Kalamazoo 2014
Here is the call for papers for two CSANA panels that will be held at Kalamazoo 2014:
"CSANA invites paper proposals for two sponsored sessions at the 49th International Congress on Medieval Studies at Kalamazoo, Michigan, May 8 -11, 2014.
1. The first session will feature "New Work by Young Celtic Studies Scholars." This session will feature work by graduate students and other scholars who are early in their careers to provide them with feedback and suggestions. Papers on any topic relevant to Celtic Studies, including comparative topics, are welcome.
2. The second session will consider "Interdisciplinary Approaches to Celtic Studies and 'Celtic.'" Celtic Studies is inherently an interdisciplinary field and deploying the methodologies and perspectives of the various relevant academic disciplines yields more nuanced and holistic understanding of questions relating to the Celtic peoples and their cultures. This session will welcome papers which either directly address concepts and definitions of "Celtic" or employ differing disciplinary methods when exploring a particular topic within Celtic Studies.
Paper proposals should include both an abstract and the Congress Participant Information Form, which is available online at:
<http://www/wmich.edu/
Professor Frederick Suppe
History Department
Ball State University
Muncie, IN 47306
USA
FAX number: (765) 285-5612
