About networks and special interest groups (SIGs)
Our Networks and Special Interest Groups (SIGs) offer Fellows and members the opportunity to develop events, publications, and research with administrative support from the EA Office.

How to set up a new network or special interest group
Anyone interested in convening such a network or SIG should submit an expression of interest by emailing hello@englishassociation.ac.uk.
Before getting in touch, please note that:
-
- SIGs/networks require a chair to lead and coordinate activities;
- SIGs should be set up to address specific issues, and will therefore have limited life spans;
- SIGs are a good way to broaden the EA’s reach by focusing the influence and expertise of the Fellows. In order to capitalise on the valuable knowledge of the Fellows, the EA is particularly interested in SIGs which propose defined outcomes and outputs (such as an event or publication);
- SIGs/networks should reflect the EA’s distinctive range of activity by being cross-sector and interdisciplinary;
- SIGs/networks should reflect the EA’s commitment to diversity and inclusion.
