Dear Igala members,<br><br>I'm
wondering if anyone on this list would be interested in putting
together a 3 person session (3 separate papers) on research
ethics/ethical considerations for language and gender researchers for
the LSA meeting in San Francisco this coming January. I'm looking for
two people who will definitely be going to the LSA, and who can get
good solid abstracts to me in the next couple of weeks. The 3
abstracts and 3-page proposal are due August 1st and I want to have it
done early. I think we have a fairly good chance of being accepted if
we have a strong proposal.<br><br>My idea is that the session, and all three papers, would focus
on the ethical issues that arise in language and gender research with
different types of communities or groups. I would present something
about research with teens (and social networking), and the other two
presenters would present something about their own research. I would
like it if the other papers complemented my topic, which of course
means that it the papers could come from work with pretty much any
community. Some of the ideas that come to mind immediately are
research with LGTB individuals and communities, indigenous populations,
health care patients, migrant workers, office workers, island
communities. I'm not wed to any of these ideas so if you're interested
please contact me off list and let me know what your thoughts are. If
you have trouble with the response email account please feel free to
contact me at <a href="mailto:tanyam@u.washington.edu" target="_blank">tanyam@u.washington.edu</a><br>
