SSHRC Awarded CG 2018: The theme for the interdisciplinary International Symposium on Bilingualism-12 (ISB12) is The Next Generation. We build on the theme in two ways. First, we highlight the importance of children in maintaining languages, including among immigrants, indigenous language speakers, and stable bilingual communities. We also examine the role that educators play in facilitating children's learning of languages. A second way that we build on the theme is by creating opportunities to foster the intellectual development of early career scholars through workshops, informal lunches, and opportunities to deliver a lecture. Thirdly, we are also organizing a roundtable on bilingualism and indigenous languages in order to create connections between bilingualism researchers and researchers focused on revitalization programs.
