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.

CFP: Sandrizona Fall 2009

Sandrizona 2009
The Second Bi-Annual UCSD - U of AZ Linguistic Anthropology Exchange
October 16th and 17th, 2009
Hosted by the University of Arizona

In an effort to nurture professional connections and scholarly exchange between graduate students interested in issues of linguistic anthropology at the University of California, San Diego and the University of Arizona, this is the second half of the first successful workshop.

We invite research dealing with all aspects of language, including, but not limited to:
Language and society
Language socialization
Politics, ideologies of language
Language and identity (gender, age, ethnicity, etc.)
Minority languages, multilingualism, and other languages in contact
Gesture, Sign language, and other multimodal forms of communication

Research projects may be at any stage of completion, and be solo or joint projects. Polished presentations are not expected. Instead, we visualize this one-and a half day exchange as an opportunity to talk through our ideas with a fresh, receptive audience of our peers and interested professors, and to receive and provide productive feedback. Each participant will have a total of 35 minutes to discuss their work; however, we will limit the number of
presentations in order to give adequate attention to each project.

We invite interested participants to submit (a) an abstract (250 words) describing their research project, and (b) a biographical/professional description (150 words). Please make a note at the top of your abstract whether your presentation will focus on a) work-shopping new original data and theoretical analysis or b) preparing for a larger conference or job talk or c) other. Please include your name, institutional affiliation, department, and email address.

All submitted materials will be distributed at the event. However, those selected to present during the workshop will have their materials distributed to all participants prior to Sandrizona, in order to encourage a high level of participant feedback. Housing with U of A graduate students will be available for those graduate students visiting from UCSD. UCSD students, please submit your abstracts and biographies to Elizabeth Peacock (eapeacock@ucsd.edu). U of A students, please submit your materials to Ashley Stinnett (astinnet@email.arizona.edu). All materials are due by 5:00pm, September 1, 2009.
