AAAL 2025 Conference

The 2025 conference of the American Association for Applied Linguistics (AAAL) will be held in Denver, Colorado, at the Sheraton Denver Downtown, March 22-25, 2025. The theme of the conference is “Relational Accountability.” Referring to a term widely used by indigenous scholars, relational accountability asks us as researchers to know and center our relations and be accountable to them. This includes considering our human and non-human partners and participants and our relationships with them in terms of power and positionality as we are conceptualizing, conducting, and disseminating our research. The 2025 conference invites presenters from all subdisciplines of Applied Linguistics to share research with a strong consideration of what it means to be in authentic relationship with others.
