ESRC LADO Network
The
ESRC LADO Network is a network of researchers established through the
UK Economic and Social Research Council
grant no. RES-451-26-0911 to
Prof. Peter L.
Patrick of the University of Essex
Dept. of Language & Linguistics
and Human Rights Centre,
in order to conduct a series of Research Seminars. The theme is "Language
Analysis of Asylum Applicants: Foundations, Guidelines & Best Practice", and the
meetings have been held in 2011-12 at the
University of Essex.
The membership of the ESRC LADO Network initially consisted of the
LARG Convenors
and Advisory Panel.
The four meetings have reached beyond this membership to involve a broad range of
academics and practitioners, as well as postgraduate students and young
scholars. They assembled linguists and professionals involved in Language
Analysis for Determination of Origins (LADO),
as well as participants from legal, government, academic, NGO and other
backgrounds engaged in refugee status determination.
