Professor Eda Derhemi is the organizer of the FEL XXV “Endangered Languages and Diaspora” international conference held by the Foundation for Endangered Languages and The Center for Research and Publication on Arbëresh (QSPA) in collaboration with the Faculty of History and Philology at the University of Tirana and the National Diaspora Agency of Albania. The conference will take place in Tirana, Albania, on 16-19 December, 2021. While this is planned as a face-to-face conference, with a possibility of virtual connection for some papers, contingencies are also planned if the pandemic in December does not allow physical attendance by scholars and activists.

Registrations for the conference start on August 2nd.

A list of the plenary speakers will soon be on the conference page. For more information, please visit the conference page: https://europe.illinois.edu/news-events/2020-21-initiatives/conference-foundation-endangered-languages.
