Call for course
proposals - LSA Summer Institute 2019
The next LSA Summer Linguistic
Institute will be held at the University of California at Davis from June 24 - July
19, 2019. The theme of the Institute is Language in the Digital Era.
We are
currently accepting proposals for additional courses to be offered during the
Institute. These courses will be complemented by courses taught by faculty directly
invited by the Institute's organizing committee. The aim is to develop a slate of
courses that provides broad coverage of linguistics within the context of the
Institute's theme.
All Institute courses will last for four weeks, with two
90-minute class periods each week (for a total of eight class sessions). We are
interested in proposals for courses that are broadly related to this theme, as well
as in any area of linguistics (including those unrelated to the theme).
We
are particularly interested in proposals for clusters of courses that relate to one
another, especially when taught by a group of scholars interested in using the
Institute to pursue collaborative research projects.
For the instructors of
accepted courses, the Institute will cover the costs of travel, housing, and will
provide a small honorarium. Proposals to co-teach courses are welcome, including
proposals that split courses between two instructors. For co-taught courses,
expenses will be paid for both instructors but the honorarium will be divided
between the instructors.
Proposals will be evaluated by the course review
committee. On the basis of the proposal evaluations, the LSA 2019 Institute Steering
Committee will make a final selection of courses that ensures a coherent,
well-balanced curriculum.
Proposals should take the following form:
- Course Title/Instructor(s)
- A short course description (no more than 300
words)
- A brief explanation of the motivation for the course (no more than 200
words, include relevance to the theme of the institute, if applicable)
- An
outline of course topics or readings (to give us a sense of how you would fit the
topic into a four-week course)
A brief statement of any synergistic
activities related to the course should also be included. This might include (among
other possibilities): collaborators teaching (or proposing) other courses,
relationship of the course to workshops or other events held at the LSA annual
meeting, and so on. We encourage all proposals to explore synergies with the LSA
annual meetings (both before and after the Institute) to enhance the continuity of
the projects. We also encourage those proposing to teach a course to consider
becoming members of the LSA (if you are not already or are a lapsed member).
Proposals should avoid overlap with courses already planned for the 2019
Institute (see
http://lsa2019.ucdavis.edu/courses/
for a tentative list of invited courses).
The deadline for receipt of
course proposals is April 1, 2018. Proposals should be submitted as a pdf to
info.lsa.institute
