Subject: Global Association of Linguistic Anthropology

 
The Global Association of Linguistic Anthropology, GALIAN, aims to globally
network researchers and advocates in the field of Linguistic Anthropology,
covering all global regions, to disseminate Linguistic Anthropological work in
relation to a global region, and to promote the study and understanding of
Linguistic Anthropological work throughout and of the global region, and for
each respective region and place.

As such, the Association works closely with other Associations and Societies
of Linguistic Anthropology, such as the SLA and the AAA, to effect the
following:

- To promote the understanding of language and society for a global region, by
positioning all countries, religions, societies, cultures, and races in
egalitarian fashion, and by recognizing the equal contribution to Linguistic
Anthropology of all peoples
- To invite unlimited participation by academics from throughout a global
region
- To conduct and concurrently promote the advancement of understanding,
educating, encouraging, and supporting affiliates of Linguistic Anthropology,
as well as other scholarships related to Linguistic Anthropology, through
collaborating with relevant departments, institutions, and other bodies
- To promote the development of society through the sharing of linguistic
cultural practices, in any applied or theoretical form
- To raise funds, and to receive contributions, so to finance the work of
Linguistic Anthropologists working on and in a global context
- To publicize and promote the work of those people and events in the field of
Linguistic Anthropology
- To advise and mentor those working in the field of Linguistic Anthropology
- To formulate rules, policies, and guidelines so to facilitate collaboration
and communication amongst members of The Association
- To organize conferences, seminars, courses, fieldwork and other events
- To work with groups similar globally and with whom to exchange information
- To assist to resolve any sociopolitical disputes, in a peaceful manner,
through the understanding of concepts, models, and practices, in Linguistic
Anthropology, in a global context

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and 
as such can receive donations through the eLinguistics Foundation, 
which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal 
Tax number is 45-4211155. These donations can be offset against 
your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). 
For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial 
advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that 
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. 
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department 
and sending us a form that the eLinguistics Foundation fills in and 
returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative 
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if 
your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
