Directory         1.    Martha Palmer, LSA 2011 Linguistic Institute: Call for Workshops Message 1: LSA 2011 Linguistic Institute: Call for Workshops Date: 02-Jun-2010 From: Martha Palmer <lsa2011colorado.edu> Subject: LSA 2011 Linguistic Institute: Call for Workshops E-mail this message to a friend LSA 2011 Linguistic Institute: Call for Workshop and Conference Proposals The 2011 Linguistic Institute will take place July 5-August 5, 2011 on the campus of the University of Colorado at Boulder, with the theme 'Language in the World'. The Institute focus will be on interdisciplinary, empirically based approaches to language that acknowledge its dual nature, as both a real-time interactional strategy and a product of interaction; see: http://verbs.colorado.edu/LSA2011/. We anticipate that a number of workshops will be offered over the weekends of the Institute as well as on Wednesdays, a day with no classes, and we are requesting initial, informal proposals for potential workshops by July 1, 2010. We are happy to host a meeting of a regular conference or of a one-time-only workshop, particularly workshops that are consistent with the Institute theme. As at previous Institutes, the general assumption is that workshop funding is the responsibility of their organizers and that workshops have no registration fees or minimal registration fees to allow them to be maximally accessible to Institute participants, who are primarily graduate students. The proposal should contain the following information: - the title of the workshop - the name of the sponsoring organization (if applicable) - the names, institutional affiliations, and e-mail addresses of the organizers - the proposed length of the workshop or conference (e.g. half-day, one full day, two full days) - the format of the event (e.g. method of selecting speakers; length of talks and discussion; use of commentators) - any available information about the presenters - a brief one paragraph description of the workshop - expected number of participants - any special facility needs - anticipated sources of funding Please note that July 1, 2010 is not a formal deadline for workshop proposals. You may propose a workshop at a later date. Furthermore, proposing a workshop at this time does not obligate you to actually hold it at the 2011 Institute, although we will request a firm commitment by November 15, 2010, and it may be difficult to accommodate proposals received after this date. This is an information-gathering process rather than a review process. Workshop proposals will not be subjected to outside evaluation; however, should we receive more proposals than we can accommodate, we will select among them according to the date submitted and fit with the overall Institute. Although, as mentioned, workshops should be self-funded, the Institute Executive Committee will pursue modest additional funding to support workshops as part of a larger effort to obtain funding for other Institute events; thus, some concrete information on what workshops may take place will be very helpful as we seek this funding. By contacting us prior to July 1, you will not only help the Institute organizers, but also facilitate your own workshop. The more lead time we have concerning potential workshops, the more likely they are to be accommodated, at your desired times and dates, in the ideal physical spaces, and the more likely that some subvention can be obtained. Workshops proposed by July 1 will have priority in terms of scheduling and resources. Please submit your workshop proposals to lsa2011-execcolorado.edu by July 1, 2010. Questions about workshops may also be directed to this e-mail address.
