14th Brazilian Congress of Applied Linguistics (14th CBLA)

The Brazilian Applied Linguistics Association (ALAB) is pleased to announce the 14th Brazilian Congress of Applied Linguistics (14th CBLA), taking place from July 14 to 18, 2025, at the Federal University of Sergipe (UFS). Celebrating 35 years (1990-2025) and aiming to provide national and international visibility for research in Applied Linguistics (AL), ALAB invites its members, researchers, students, professors, and AL professionals, as well as those from related fields, to disseminate and share their completed and/or ongoing research at this edition of the CBLA, which has as its theme "Languages, Territories, and Bodies in Movement."

The 14th Brazilian Congress of Applied Linguistics (CBLA) aims to highlight different forms of agency of languages, in articulation with bodies and territories, that constitute contemporary modes of survival, resistance, and re-existence against colonialism, colonialities, social inequalities, epistemic injustices, and various forms of violence. To this end, we wish to give attention to the voices erased from dominant hegemonic narratives, in order to (un)learn from their epistemologies, ontologies, and cosmologies, such as those of traditional and terreiro communities, Afro-Indigenous peoples, and social movements from cities, the countryside, rivers, and forests.
