conference</title></head><body>
<div>As most of you know IGALA3 will be held at Cornell University in
Ithaca, NY, USA 5-7 June (with a preconference reception the evening
of Friday, 4 June). The full program will be posted in the next
week or so but meanwhile we wanted to update you a little about the
post-conference workshops that will be held Monday, 7 June, 2:15
pm-5:15 pm. There will be three workshops, all of them as
"hands on" as we can make them. One is devoted to
teaching language and gender courses and will look at such matters as
developing syllabi, resources, pedagogical methods, and questions
raised by different kinds of students and institutions; the workshop
facilitators, Janet Holmes and Marisol del Teso Craviotto, will
encourage people to bring samples of the kinds of things they do in
the courses they've taught. Another emphasizes ethical and
consent issues in doing language and gender research and will include
discussion of practical matters like consent forms and dealing w/
internal review boards as well as more basic questions about
responsibilities to the communities within which research is being
conducted and the different kinds of questions that arise in different
national contexts. This workshop is being facilitated by Penny
Eckert and Tanya Matthews. The third workshop will be held in
the Cornell phonetics lab and will focus on phonetic research methods
and resources. This workshop will be facilitated by Lisa Lavoie,
Rob Podesva, and Liz Strand, who among them cover both production and
perception and who all have considerable experience doing phonetic and
lg/gender/sexuality research. Those interested in this workshop
should let us know as soon as possible as lab space is somewhat
limited; if you want to attend, please send an e-mail to
igala3@cornell.edu as soon as possible. (We will assign spots on
a "first come, first served" basis.) More detailed
descriptions of each of the workshops will be posted soon on our
website<font size="-1"> (<font

along with the full program for the conference. We hope to see
many of you there!</div>
