At Worcester she teaches Shakespeare, Early Modern literature and culture, and Film Adaptation at under- and post-graduate levels. Her research focuses on Shakespeare staged, on the screen, in the classroom, on the internet, translated, appropriated, adapted and recycled. She is particularly interested in Shakespeare in performance viewed as site-, time- and media-specific and her research takes place through reconstructing productions, writing theatre history and reading performance hermeneutics – all of which are intrinsic to critical and cultural production, and the reception and teaching of Shakespeare’s works. In the theatre, she has worked in several capacities – from that of dramaturge to assistant director and translator.
Author of Shakespeare's Hamlet in Romania 1778–2008 (Mellen, 2010), editor of and contributor to Doing Kyd (Manchester University Press, 2016) and Europe’s Shakespeare(s) (Sage 2018), she has also published articles in Cahiers Élisabéthains, New Theatre Quarterly, Shakespeare Bulletin, SEDERI, Testi e linguaggi, Arrêts sur scène, Theatrical Blends and Studia Dramatica.

Abstract:
‘When in Rome …’: The Royal Shakespeare Company Rome Season (2017)
While the Royal Shakespeare Company’s Artistic Director, Greg Doran, introduced the Rome Season (2017) as an anniversary one: 2,000 years since Ovid’s death, and 50 years since the decriminalisation of homosexuality in England and Wales, in his trailer for the main house shows, Angus Jackson, the Rome Season Director, focused on two other features brought to the fore by the opportunity of staging all four Shakespeare’s Roman plays: in a ‘season of tragic thrillers’, they allow ‘us to see the evolution of this society’ from ‘birth to decay’, ‘tearing itself to pieces’. These ‘very high stakes plays’, he commented, have ‘resonances with contemporary politics’.
I would like to focus briefly on ‘how’ this Rome (mediated several times over) was constructed as live interaction between ‘thens’ and ‘now’ in the four Shakespeare plays, and argue that this interaction was made possible through an elaborate game of ghosting.
Christiane Dalton-Puffer, University of Vienna
Christiane Dalton-Puffer is professor of English Linguistics at the University of Vienna, co-affiliated also to the University’s Centre of Teacher Education. She has done research on Middle English and morphology, but today her teaching and research interests are mainly in educational linguistics. She is the author of Discourse in CLIL classrooms (Benjamins, 2007) as well numerous journal articles. Her current research focus is how teachers and students use language to express subject content and to work towards curricular learning goals of specialist subjects. Work in this area has given her a special interest in crossing disciplinary borders in order to convince educators of the relevance of language for learning.
Abstract
"What can empirical research tell us about CLIL implementations?" - Mapping the landscape
Educational programmes where foreign languages, above all English, serve as a medium of instruction have received considerable advocacy over the last two decades and have consequently been adopted in many education systems worldwide. Despite this widespread adoption, CLIL programmes as well as CLIL classrooms continue to be complex and challenging environments, and those involved often seek answers to questions that simple claims that “CLIL is a good thing” will not solve.
Given the exponential growth of empirical studies in CLIL since about 2010, we are now in possession of evidence-based information that allows researchers and stakeholders to look beyond their own contexts in order to profit from the insights of others in similar situations.
In this talk, I stake out a basic map of CLIL research using four fundamental research perspectives as a compass: learning outcomes, classroom discourse and pedagogy. materials and participant perspectives. Each of the perspectives will be elaborated with examples from published research, thus giving insight not only into the current state of the art of CLIL research from different parts of the world but also into its gaps and needs for further development.

She is editor-in-chief of TransCanadiana: Polish Journal of Canadian Studies; as well as founding member and former President of the Polish Association for Canadian Studies.
Abstract
On Diversity and Exclusion: The Case of CanLit
In 1971, when Pierre Trudeau committed his government to the policy of multiculturalism within a bilingual framework, Canada became the first country in the world to adopt multiculturalism as an official policy. The commitment was enshrined in Canadian Multiculturalism Act of 1988, which recognized also Aboriginal rights. By that time Canadian literature, known as CanLit, bolstered by a largely federal framework of financial and institutional support, was already enjoying a renaissance and was in the process of becoming increasingly more varied and diverse. A body of criticism, attempting to analyse and define CanLit, was growing. CanLit was also institutionalised as an academic subject, and was itself becoming an institution.
The aim of my presentation is to review two strands of the criticism of CanLit as an academic field and an institution that has been closely related to and shaped by the Canadian colonial project of nationhood and the discourse of the nation, and that therefore replicates the exclusions of the national project itself. One strand is the discussion initiated by prominent Canadian academics in order to rejuvenate and transform the field, but also in response the scandalous exclusions and failures of the institution. Their voices are represented by articles gathered in Trans.Can.Lit. Resituating the Study of Canadian Literature (2007; eds Smaro Kamboureli and Roy Miki), and in Refuse. CanLit in Ruins (2018; eds Hannah McGregor, Julie Rak and Erin Wunker). The other strand consists of the voices of Indigenous writers and critics defining their positioning in relation to the Canadian state and CanLit, most often refusing to be co-opted by any of those. Contrary to the guiding statement of the conference, I would like to demonstrate that while the discourse of diversity might be inclusive, the practice of diversity is not, and perhaps should not be, always so.
Gunter Senft, Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen
Gunter Senft (1952, PhD 1982) was senior investigator at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in Nijmegen (The Netherlands) and extraordinary professor of general linguistics at the University of Cologne (Germany). He retired in February 2018 and is now an associate researcher at the MPI in Nijmegen. He has been studying the language and the culture of the Trobriand Islanders of Papua New Guinea since 1982 and conducted field research on the Trobriand Islands for 45 months during 16 long- and short term field-trips between 1982 and 2012. His main research interests include Austronesian and Papuan languages, anthropological linguistics, pragmatics, semantics, the interface between language, culture, and cognition, the conceptualization of space and spatial reference, serial verb constructions and systems of nominal classification. Among his publications figure more than 150 articles in journals, handbooks and anthologies and 20 books.
Abstract
"... to grasp the native's point of view" - A plea for a holistic documentation of the Trobriand Islanders' language, culture and cognition
In his famous introduction to his monograph "Argonauts of the Western Pacific" Bronislaw Malinowski (1922: 24f.) points out that a "collection of ethnographic statements, characteristic narratives, typical utterances, items of folk-lore and magical formulae has to be given as a corpus inscriptionum, as documents of native mentality". This is one of the prerequisites to "grasp the native's point of view, his relation to life, to realize his vision of his world". Malinowski managed to document a "Corpus Inscriptionum Agriculturae Quriviniensis" in his second volume of "Coral Gardens and their Magic" (1935 Vol II: 79-342). But he himself did not manage to come up with a holistic "corpus inscriptionum" for the Trobriand Islanders. One of the main aims I have been pursuing in my research on the Trobriand Islanders' language, culture and cognition has been to fill this ethnolinguistic niche. In this talk I report what I had to do to carry out this complex and ambitious project, what forms and kinds of linguistic and cultural competence I had to acquire, and how I planned my data collection during 16 long- and short-term field trips to the Trobriands between 1982 and 2012. The talk will end with a critical assessment of my Trobriand endeavor".
Magdalena Wrembel, Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań

Her recent books feature In search of a new perspective: Cross-linguistic influence in the acquisition of third language phonology (2015) and a co-edited collection Advances in the Investigation of L3 Phonological Acquisition (2018). She has co-organised a number of international conferences and workshops, e.g. New Sounds 2010, EuroSLA 2012, SLE 2014 and L3 Workshop 2017 in Poznań. She has been actively involved in several research grants, including an ongoing project of the Polish-German Foundation of Science “Phonological cross-linguistic influence in young multilinguals”. She has served at several scientific committees and currently is a member of the Executive Board of the International Association of Multilingualism.
Abstract
Researching L3 phonological acquisition: challenges and new insights
In this presentation I would like to contribute to the mosaic of linguistic diversity by addressing the acquisition of speech from a complex multilingual perspective. Specifically, I aim to overview this dynamically developing new field by focusing on the theoretical and methodological challenges for research into L3 phonological acquisition. New insights will be offered into complex patterns of interaction between native and non-native languages and the factors conditioning cross-linguistic influence. Extant findings will be discussed involving different methodologies (cross-sectional and longitudinal), different L3 learners (heritage, bilingual, foreign language learners), production and perception interface, individual differences as well as diverse language combinations. It is hoped that the talk will shed further light on this under-researched yet prevalent area of phonological acquisition.
