LSA 2011 Linguistic Institute: Call for Workshop and Conference Proposals
The 2011 Linguistic Institute will take place July 5-August 5, 2011 on thecampus of the University of Colorado at Boulder, with the theme 'Languagein 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 weekendsof the Institute as well as on Wednesdays, a day with no classes, and weare requesting initial, informal proposals for potential workshops by July1, 2010. We are happy to host a meeting of a regular conference or of aone-time-only workshop, particularly workshops that are consistent with theInstitute theme. As at previous Institutes, the general assumption isthat workshop funding is the responsibility of their organizers and thatworkshops have no registration fees or minimal registration fees to allowthem to be maximally accessible to Institute participants, who areprimarily 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, onefull day, two full days)- the format of the event (e.g. method of selecting speakers; length oftalks 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 workshopproposals. You may propose a workshop at a later date. Furthermore,proposing a workshop at this time does not obligate you to actually hold itat the 2011 Institute, although we will request a firm commitment byNovember 15, 2010, and it may be difficult to accommodate proposalsreceived after this date. This is an information-gathering process ratherthan a review process. Workshop proposals will not be subjected to outsideevaluation; however, should we receive more proposals than we canaccommodate, we will select among them according to the date submitted andfit with the overall Institute.
Although, as mentioned, workshops should be self-funded, the InstituteExecutive Committee will pursue modest additional funding to supportworkshops as part of a larger effort to obtain funding for other Instituteevents; thus, some concrete information on what workshops may take placewill be very helpful as we seek this funding. By contacting us prior toJuly 1, you will not only help the Institute organizers, but alsofacilitate your own workshop. The more lead time we have concerningpotential workshops, the more likely they are to be accommodated, at yourdesired times and dates, in the ideal physical spaces, and the more likelythat some subvention can be obtained. Workshops proposed by July 1 willhave priority in terms of scheduling and resources.
Please submit your workshop proposals to lsa2011-execcolorado.edu by July1, 2010. Questions about workshops may also be directed to this e-mailaddress.
