Meeting Description: 

InField is an opportunity for linguists, graduate students in linguistics, and
native speakers of minority languages to receive training in a range of skills
needed to document, maintain, and/or revitalize minority languages. InField will
be divided into two parts: a two-week session of workshops on a range of topics
related to language documentation, maintenance, and revitalization, followed by
a four-week session of Field Training, an intensive course similar to a doctoral
course on field methods, where students will utilize the skills taught in the
workshops.
