| Query: |
I've already sent this query to some discipline-specific email lists, and
had a good number of responses, but none positive. What I was asking is about people doing sociolinguistic research who, for one reason or another, are not employed within academic institutions. This could include people who have finished their PhD but not yet found academic employment (like me!), or people who engage in paid sociolinguistic research but not through an academic institution (for example Pamela McKensie's excellent work on mother tongue based education in India and Bangladesh, for the International Network for Development). I'm interested to know about any groups specifically for sociolinguists in this sort of position. An example of such a group in another discipline is the British Sociological Association's ''Sociologists Outside Academia'' study group: http://www.britsoc.co.uk/specialisms/SOA.htm. Is anyone out there aware of any organisations or associations (or groups within those) dedicated to bringing together sociolinguists outside academia? |
