Presenting Linguistics: Make a Video about your Research
July 22-24 and July 29-31, 2005

Part of the LSA Summer Institute, this is an intensive hands-on workshop which
will assist participants to design and create media projects on topics in
language and linguistics. Selections from these projects will become part of the
LSA Video Archive to be used in building installations for the projected Virtual
Museum of Language and Linguistics (VMLL), a web-based museum environment
directed at school-aged children.  

The workshop will take place during two three-day weekends (Friday - Sunday).
Participants are encouraged to attend both weekends (6 days), in order to have
enough time to complete a short video presentation.

The workshop is timed to overlap with LSA.210, "Linguistics K-12," taught by
Maya Honda and Wayne O'Neil, and participants in that course may be especially
interested in creating a VMLL exhibit. But all Institute participants, both
faculty and students, are very welcome to attend the Presenting Linguistics
workshop. 

It is our experience that theoretical linguists often find it especially
difficult to envisage a short movie that presents an interesting fact about
language to a non-specialist audience of young people. But this is a challenge
worth undertaking if we want people to understand what linguistics is and why it
matters. If you bring your existing powerpoint slides, we can help you convert
them into a suitable form for a general audience.

Registration is limited to 20. We would be glad to hear from prospective
participants before the Institute opens. If you wish, we can discuss in advance
a possible topic for your presentation, so that you can gather materials
(illustrations, audio recordings, video footage, etc.) before leaving home. If
you do not have a preferred topic but wish to gain experience in video
presentation, you may become part of a team working on a topic with other
participants. 

Necessary equipment will be provided, and there will be no additional costs
except for small supplies such as CDs, audiotape, etc. However, participants who
own laptops, digital cameras, video cameras, and/or audio-recording equipment
are encouraged to bring these to work with. 

Organizers: 
Janet Dean Fodor (CUNY), Sean Hendricks (U. Georgia), Judy Kegl (U. Southern
Maine) and Sharon Klein (CSU Northridge).
