deliberately broad theme for ISB15 is aimed at meeting ISB’s mission to
create a space for researchers with a diverse range of interests to
share their knowledge and gain new perspectives, and to foster
meaningful cross-disciplinary collaborations. We hope to bring together
researchers working on different faces of bilingualism, including
different research areas, methodological approaches, and populations. In
line with this aim, we have invited plenary speakers who represent
different faces of bilingualism, from sociolinguistics to education,
psycholinguistics to translation. This broad theme reflects the
multidisciplinary nature of the organizing committee, based in a center
of excellence for neuroscientific research into language and
bilingualism. To capitalize on this expertise, ISB15 will feature The
Bilingual Brain Day, which is intended to share the core insights of the
field with researchers of other areas and to discuss the
state-of-the-art with researchers in the field. The conference theme
also aims to promote inclusivity,</span><span lang="en-AU" style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-size:11pt;font-family:FreeSans;background-color:white"> </span><span lang="en-AU" style="color:black;font-size:11pt;font-family:FreeSans">inspired by</span><span lang="en-AU" style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-size:11pt;font-family:FreeSans;background-color:white"> </span><span lang="en-AU" style="color:black;font-size:11pt;font-family:FreeSans">its
