Following the success of last year's International Research Seminar, SELIM will be organising four Spring Seminars in OE Linguistics (2022), OE Literature (2023), ME Linguistics (2024), and ME Literature (2025). The 2022 Seminar starts a collaboration with TOEBI which we hope to treasure for long. Registration is free: Seminars.

Great times are ahead. It is our pleasure to announce the establishment of SELIM's Patricia Shaw Memorial Lecture Award in honour of Prof Patricia Shaw (1931-1998), founder and first president of SELIM. We are honoured that Prof. Elaine Treharne (Stanford University) accepted to be its first recepient. Her lecture will be presented at the 2022 SELIM annual conference and published by SELIM Journal.
