Sandrizona 2010!

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS: Due March 26th

Sandrizona 2010: "Where the Desert Meets the Ocean"
An Interdisciplinary Conference on Language

Hosted by UCSD
with a keynote presentation by Dr. Jennifer Roth-Gordon (UA)
April 23-24, 2010

We invite research dealing with all aspects of language, anything from socialization and ideologies of language to multimodal forms of communication. Research projects may be at any stage of completion, and be solo or joint projects. There are two categories of presentations: Workshops and Talks. Workshops may be less polished, a presentation of work in progress, a time to talk through ideas with a fresh, receptive audience of peers and interested professors, and to receive and provide productive feedback. Talks may be more polished presentations of papers, thesis topics, or work to be presented at a future venue. Each participant will have a total of 15 minutes to discuss his or her work, and 10 minutes to respond to questions.

We invite interested participants to submit (a) a 250-word abstract, and (b) a 150-word biographical/professional description. Please note at the top of your abstract whether your presentation will fit in the Workshop or Talk category. Include your name, institutional affiliation, department, and email address. Abstracts are due Friday, March 26 to your appropriate campus contact.

UCSD students, please contact F. Candler Hallman (fhallman@ucsd.edu). UA students, please contact Ashley Stinnett (astinnett@email.arizona.edu).

Sponsored by the UCSD Division of Social Sciences, the UCSD Linguistic Anthropology Lab, the UCSD Department of Anthropology, the UA School of Anthropology, the UCSD Language, Interaction, Mind, and Body group, and the UCSD Graduate Student Association.
