AI technologies are playing an increasingly larger role in our lives and research is not an exception to that. As critical sociolinguists working on the role of technology in society, we have developed a survey as we are interested to know more about what researchers who work on language and society think about AI technologies and how they are using them in their research and wider academic lives. We would like to kick off a debate on the opportunities and issues that such technologies offer. Pl

Across the fields of sociolinguistics, applied linguistics, literacy studies, and linguistic anthropology, the role of religion has been present yet marginalised, and often subsumed under broader categories such as ‘identity’, ‘ideology’, or ‘cultural practice’. Despite this presence, scholarship within linguistic and cultural studies, broadly speaking, has not yet fully capitalised on the onto-epistemic affordances of exploring how language and society intersect in contexts where the Islamic fa
