Prof. Hakosalo talks about the role of historians as crisis communicators. And finally, Dr. Del Fante's plenary focuses on the role of language in understanding crises: is there a common underlying factor in the way language is used to make sense of, understand, and respond to a crisis?

Prof. McEnery (@tonymcenery.bsky.social) will discuss Brexit, taking a long-term view on British discourses about Europe. Prof. Koskela discusses Rhetorical Arena Theory that provides a lens for analyzing how crisis situations are actively constructed through discourse.

It is the week of the LanCris Conference! We are very excited to hear about new research related to language and crises. #lancris2026 In addition to over 40 paper presentations, we will have four keynote speeches that look at languaging crises from four different perspectives:

How do we persuade someone to act against their initial intentions? How do we reshape what they think about an issue? See the Call for Papers for Influence, Manipulation & Seduction 3: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Persuasive Language November 19-20, 2026, at Tampere University, Finland

On the week of FINSSE-12, the University of Oulu will also host the CMC-Corpora 2026 conference for which FINSSE participants are more than welcome to sign up too. Check out cmc2026.org and stay for the whole week up north!
