SWELL stands for Swiss Works in English Language and Linguistics

SWELL is an informal organization for the networking of all Swiss doctoral and Habilitation researchers working on the English language.

We meet once a year for a conference on the latest PhD and Habilitation projects in English linguistics. The conferences give young researchers the opportunity to obtain peer feedback on their work, to meet other linguists and to discover mutual interests and collaboration possibilities.

SWELL mailing list 

We have a mailing list to keep each other informed about linguistic matters relevant to our field (guest lectures, conferences, job ads, etc.). If you would like to register, please send a request to Miriam Locher (miriam.locher at unibas.ch). Once you are a member of this list, you can directly post to it by sending a message to "swell at maillist.unibas.ch". (Notice the two 'll' in maillist.)

Our next Swell meeting will take place in Bern on 28 March with this program.

Organizers: Bern linguistics team
Location: Hauptgebäude, Room 304, Hochschulstrasse 4, University of Bern

SWELL provides a space for PhD students and Post-Docs to gain valuable and constructive feedback on work-in-progress. For questions, you can write to danielle.tod  at  unibe.ch.
