Meeting Description:

The Society for the Study of the Indigenous Languages of the Americas (SSILA)
will hold a summer meeting at the LSA 2019 Linguistic Institute
(https://lsa2019.ucdavis.edu/), which will take place at the University of
California, Davis.  The meeting will be held on July 13 and July 14 at the UC
Davis Conference Center.  SSILA meetings allow scholars to present on a wide
range of topics centered on any aspect of Indigenous American languages.

This meeting will host a special session on the broader impact of linguistic
work in the Americas.  The social context and collaborative dynamic of every
project varies enormously across the continents.  Whereas some communities
might focus efforts on language conservation and reclamation, others might
consider linguistic work to take a less central role in achieving community
goals.  We encourage scholars to submit contributions which explore the ways
in which they collaborate with speaker communities and other stakeholders, and
what broader impacts their work has had, whether positive or negative.  To
further bring this special session in line with the overall theme of 2019
Institute - linguistics in a digital era - we ask that authors focus on
broader impacts related to digital resources.


2nd Call for Papers:

SSILA welcomes abstracts for papers that present original research focusing on
the linguistic study of the Indigenous languages of the Americas. Presenters
must be members of SSILA in order to submit an abstract. (You can join SSILA
at: https://ssila.org/memberships/.)

Scholars who wish to participate in the special session should submit
contributions that pertain to the theme, for example by addressing one or more
of the following questions:

- What role do digital technologies play in your research and how do they
affect the social context of your work, with a focus on possible negative and
neutral impacts as well as positive ones?
- How are digital resources used to address the goals of both Indigenous
communities and academic researchers?
- In what ways do digital resources mediate the collaboration of
university-based and community-based scholars? 
- How can digital resources be deployed to create meaningful and lasting
contributions of linguistic research to language communities?

The deadline for receipt of all abstracts is March 31, at 11:59 PM
Hawaii-Aleutian time. 

Abstracts should be submitted electronically, using the electronic submission
website EasyChair. Also, e-mail or hard-copy submissions will be accepted if
arrangements are made in advance with the SSILA Program Committee
Administrator, Martin Kohlberger (conferences at ssila.org). Abstracts may be
submitted in English, Spanish, or Portuguese.

The EasyChair submission page address is:
