Eric Holt <holtsc.edu> Subject: U South Carolina Institute for Visiting Scholars E-mail this message to a friend Dear Colleagues, The Linguistics Program at the University of South Carolina solicits self- nominations from distinguished faculty engaged in innovative pedagogy or research who wish to visit the Program and its affiliated units to conduct activities that enrich our Program’s intellectual environment and enhance our graduate students’ training. The Institute for Visiting Scholars, an initiative of the Office of the Provost to support short visits (periods ranging from two weeks to six months) from distinguished scholars, is dedicated to the enrichment of the intellectual and research endeavors necessary for faculty development by introducing leading research practices through workshops, seminars, and mentoring to increase the capacity of faculty. Working with teams of faculty or individual researchers and graduate students, these visiting scholars will assist in developing innovative practices to enhance knowledge and collaboration. The Linguistics Program at the University of South Carolina is interdepartmental, with strong ties to anthropology; communication sciences and disorders; computer science and engineering; English language and literature; languages, literatures, and cultures; philosophy; and psychology; and also has strong ties to the office of English Programs for Internationals. The Graduate Program in Linguistics at USC is comprehensive in its scope and trains students to pursue research and teach in a wide range of linguistic subdisciplines that includes: French/German/Spanish linguistics, historical linguistics, philosophy of language and discourse analysis, phonological theory, psycholinguistics, second/foreign language acquisition and teaching, sociolinguistics and linguistic anthropology, and syntactic theory.
