<div class="">Dear all, </div>

<div class="">
<div class="" style="margin: 0cm;">I’m the Coordinator of a research project entitled “<a href="https://dictionaries.arts.ubc.ca" class="" style="color: rgb(5, 99, 193);"><span class="" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Relational Lexicography</span></a>: Developing
New Frameworks for Community-Informed Dictionary Work” funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) of Canada.<o:p class=""></o:p></div>
<div class="" style="margin: 0cm;"> <o:p class=""></o:p></div>
<div class="" style="margin: 0cm;">The research team includes me as the Coordinator, Mark Turin (PI), Christine Schreyer (Co-I), and collaborators Sarah Dupont, Candace Galla, Gerald Lawson, Patrick Moore, Daisy Rosenblum, Rosalind Williams, Indigenous community
partners<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://splatsin.org" class="" style="color: rgb(5, 99, 193);">Splatsin Tsm7aksaltn</a><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>and<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.selkirkfn.com" class="" style="color: rgb(5, 99, 193);">Selkirk

<div class="" style="margin: 0cm;">As part of this project, we are conducting an online survey about people’s work on community-based dictionary projects for Indigenous and other historically marginalized languages in North America. As people who may have been
involved in one or more projects like this, we hope that some of you might be interested and willing to participate. <o:p class=""></o:p></div>
<div class="" style="margin: 0cm;"> <o:p class=""></o:p></div>
<div class="" style="margin: 0cm;">You can find the link to the survey here:<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><b class=""><a href="https://ubc.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cSVbTMWDjacuXpr" class="" style="color: rgb(5, 99, 193);"><span class="" style="color: rgb(0, 122, 192); background-color: white;">SURVEY</span></a></b><o:p class=""></o:p></div>
<div class="" style="margin: 0cm;"> <o:p class=""></o:p></div>
<div class="" style="margin: 0cm;">The survey takes approximately 30 minutes to complete and you can choose to participate anonymously or have your identity recorded. You can also enter to win a draw for a book on dictionary-making once you have completed the
survey. If you have worked on more than one dictionary project, you can also complete this survey more than once, which we would appreciate immensely! <o:p class=""></o:p></div>
