Ling anth AAA panel on 11/17 (left out of program): Voices in movement

[Lal Zimman]

Dear ling anthers,

I wanted to let you all know about a linguistically-oriented AAA panel happening tomorrow morning that was unfortunately left out of the hardcopy conference program (though it does appear in the online version). Hopefully some of you will find the topic of interest!

The panel is entitled "Voices in Movement: Phonetic Border Crossings" and features research that blends sociophonetic and anthropological methods and theories as a means of exploring vocal boundaries and crossings.

You can catch the panel from 8:00-9:45am on Saturday, 11/17 in Union Square 8.


The lineup of papers includes:

8:00	Social categorization and levels of awareness: A cross-disciplinary study
		Anna M. Babel (The Ohio State University) and Kevin McGowan (Rice University)

8:15	The authentication of Sierra Leonean refugees: Competing ideologies of the acoustic characteristics of voice
		Chris Corcoran (University of Chicago)

8:30	Indianness and true grit in rural Northern California: How the Nor-Rel-Muk mix "country," White California 
		and Indian Englishes to construct opposition and authenticity
		Katherine Rose Geenberg (Stanford University)

8:45	Disclosure and (in)visibility: Acoustic navigation of the gender/sexuality border in Houston transmen
		Bethany A. Townsend (Rice University) and Vica Papp (New Zealand Institute of Language Brain and Behavior)

9:00	Stylistic context and perceptions of the gendered voice: Transgender voices and the gender border
		Lal Zimman (University of Colorado)

9:15	Discussant

I hope to see you there!
