The 3rd Kaaps Symposium is organized at the University of the Western Cape, August 2024. Kaaps is one of the oldest ‘languages’ in South Africa. From colonialism to post-apartheid, activists, academics, artists, authors continue to campaign for the empowerment of Kaaps speakers in schools, universities, social life, politics, and the economy of South Africa.

Methods XVIII will take place for the first time in Australia, 1-5 July 2024 at the Bundoora campus of La Trobe University in the northern suburbs of Melbourne. The theme for Methods XVIII is Diversity in Dialect and Language.

CIPL has awarded six PhD students a travel grant for an international conference presentation. In this round, 54 applications were submitted, all of which were of very high quality.

Registration for the Symposium on June 2nd (hybrid event) is now open. There will be Dutch Sign Language Interpretation. People who wish to attend either in person or online should kindly register by 30th May 2023.
