Please consider joining us at the upcoming 81st Annual Convention of the South Atlanta Modern Language Association on Saturday, November 7th at 10:AM in the Georgia Ballroom East of the Renaissance Atlanta Hotel Downtown. Below is a brief description of the session:
This panel will be an open discussion on the formation of a new Georgia Linguistics Network (GLN). Our hope is to develop a localized (i.e. state level) academic community for those conducting research and /or teaching courses in linguistics throughout the state. This network will also facilitate public discussions of linguistics and language-related topics. Coming from different schools and career lines, each of the panelists will discuss what they would like to see from the GLN. However, the majority of the session will be dedicated to receiving input from the audience who are encouraged to offer any relevant input. Some ideas to be discussed include: internal networking and collaboration for members, an external presence for those looking for partnerships with linguists, a web site, local conferences or other public opportunities to present work, support for graduate student research, and collaborative funding initiatives.
All are invited to attend!
