[PLing] Call for Papers: WLG Special Issue “Navigating methodological landscapes: Reflexive insights from Applied Linguistics”

[Carina Lozo]

We would like to draw your attention to the call for papers for a PhD 
special issue of the Wiener Linguistische Gazette (WLG).

We invite submissions featuring methodological reflections from work 
within Applied Linguistics.  As emerging academics, PhD students play an 
essential role in shaping the future of the field by engaging in new and 
often challenging empirical pursuits. This special issue therefore 
provides a platform for doctoral students to share their reflections, 
shedding light on the methodological considerations, successes, and 
challenges encountered in their studies.

Topics of interest for this special issue include, but are not limited to:

  * Reflexive accounts of the researcher’s positionality and its impact
    on interview dynamics and data interpretation
  * Theoretical and conceptual frameworks guiding the use of interviews
    in Applied Linguistics research
  * Methodological considerations and challenges in conducting
    interviews with diverse participant populations
  * Analytical techniques, statistical approaches, and data modeling in
    quantitative research
  * Mixed methods: Synergistic adoption of quantitative and qualitative
    methods in Applied Linguistics
  * Technology-mediated research methods: Exploring the role of digital
    tools, data analysis software, and online data sources in Applied
    Linguistics research
  * Innovative approaches to interpretive data analysis (e.g., dynamic
    combinations of analytical tools, problematizations and/or novel
    applications of established frameworks)

*Important dates & practical information*
