The 12th International Conference on Language and Social Psychology (ICLASP) to be hosted by The University of Queensland, Griffith University and Queensland University of Technology Venue: Griffith University Southbank campus, Brisbane, Australia Date: June 16-19th, 2010
This conference brings together communication scholars who investigate language from many social contexts using both quantitative and qualitative methods. Much of the research focuses on the many perceptions, motivations, norms and contextual factors that influence interactants in the communication process.

A diverse selection of distinguished keynote speakers including Professor Peter K. Austin, School of African and Oriental Studies, UK, Professor Ron Jackson, Institute of Communication Research, University of Illinois, USA, and Professor John Edwards, St Francis Xavier University, Canada.
- Innovative scholarly exchange opportunities;
- Shared meals, receptions, and the opportunity to experience sub-tropical Queensland’s beaches, hinterland, culture and life down-under;
- As always everything that you’d expect from an ICLASP conference!
Brisbane is the third largest city in Australia and is the capital of the state of Queensland in Australia's North East. Brisbane is a gracious, subtropical city where outdoor dining is a way of life. The city is on the Brisbane River and is sheltered by Stradbroke Island, creating a wetland, mangrove environment. ICLASP 12 will be in June, in Queensland's southern winter which is mild and very pleasant. Most June days are sunny, with average temperatures of around 17C (63F). The conference venue is at Southbank beside the Brisbane River where there are street performers, craft markets, multicultural restaurants and river-side events happening all day long. Although the Brisbane area has no surf beaches it is the gateway to the Gold Coast (South) and Sunshine Coast (North). For those who may wish to combine a trip to ICLASP with a wider experience of Australia, Queensland has many attractions and there are frequent interstate flights from Brisbane airport. The world heritage Great Barrier Reef is north of Brisbane, while far north Queensland is in the tropics and has spectacular rainforest.
