Call for Materials - IGALA Workshop on teaching language and gender courses

[Christopher Trueblood]

Thank you to those who have replied, and apologies for the apparent  
confusion. Yes, please send materials to me at ctrueblo at csulb.edu.  
Word documents and PDFs are the easiest to handle, but we can use  
just about any common format that is convenient for you.

Thanks again,

Chris
