Welcome, IGEL delegates! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

from the University of Central Florida<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

Welcome to IGEL 2022! We are happy to have you join us! This year’s conference is organized by Shannon Whitten and her team from the University of Central Florida in Orlando. We are sad that we cannot welcome you here in Orlando in person, but we have decided to make the best of this online situation and are going to do things a little differently this year.<\/p>\n

The presentations for this year’s conference have all been pre-recorded and uploaded on the Discourse platform “Concordance”, which we share with some of our sister societies. Here is the link to the online program, which will help you navigate all of the presentations: https:\/\/discourse.igelsociety.org\/t\/igel2022-conference-schedule\/178. You can pick and choose which presentations to watch before the conference to prepare yourself. During the conference we have planned time for the presenters to give a brief 5-minute summary of their presentation and the rest of their timeslot is dedicated completely to questions from the audience and discussion about the topic of the presentation.<\/p>\n

If you are unable to come to one of the sessions, but you still would like to participate in discussions about the topics presented, you can use the Concordance platform for this. We encourage presenters to keep an eye on their presentation on Concordance and answer any questions posted there before, during and even after the conference, as the presentations will remain on the platform. Only registered participants of the conference will have access to this part of the Concordance platform.<\/p>\n

Be mindful that the times in this PDF program refer to EST (Eastern Time Zone) but on Concordance you can see the times according to your time zone. At the end of this program you can find abstracts of all of the papers, organized per session. All abstracts are also available on Concordance.<\/p>\n

Every day the conference will start with informal chats in our online Gathertown environment, where you can make an avatar, walk around to watch the posters that have been submitted and meet up with colleagues to catch up and talk in a more informal manner. Here is the link to the IGEL 2022 Gathertown.<\/p>\n\n\n

CORE-ESL Workshops at IGEL<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multiple Labs Education in Empirical Literary Studies. Facilitating replication, collaboration and training<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We aim to broaden the scope of the empirical study of literature by translating instruments and materials in a broad range of languages and cultures. To that end we are currently setting up an international network of research groups to apply for a COST-Action Networking grant (www.cost.eu<\/a>). With that grant we could stimulate cross-cultural replication within our field by developing a repository of Open Access measures, stimulus materials, protocols and data sets available in a wide range of languages. Ultimately, we would like to develop this endeavour into a course-based research experience for undergraduate students, in which we can teach undergraduate students research skills by involving them in multiple labs studies.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the IGEL conference we are organizing two workshops, one focused on the topic of cross-cultural research, and one focused on cross-cultural education in empirical literary studies. We are looking for researchers in our IGEL community who would like to help us brainstorm issues like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
