DUMPLING is a short-form fast paced informal conference organized by Boğaziçi University’s Linguistics Society (BULING). This series of events is heavily inspired by LSA’s 5 Minute Linguists. We invite undergrad students from all around the world for quick, clear and interesting “infodumps” of linguistics fields of their choice. There are 6 speakers, each getting 10 minutes of oral presentation and a 5 minute Q&A part.

We’re currently preparing for DUMPLING#2. There will be no online or hybrid sessions. All of the sessions will be recorded and archived in the archives of BULING. At the end of the sessions, a public vote will be held among viewers and the winner will get to have our secret prize. Send your abstracts to this e-mail address.

Important dates (Tentative and subject to change):	Date
Deadline for submitting abstracts	April 27 2026
Admission announcements	May 1 2026
Day of the event	May 7 2026

We cannot offer any form of grants as we are just a student organization ourselves. However every undergrad student from around the world is invited!
