Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics 

Meeting Description: 

In many Liberal Arts Colleges (LACs) in the US, the study of Linguistics is
not offered as a major, a minor, or a concentration, yet linguistics is
integrated into courses across departments. Departments such as Modern
Languages, Philosophy, Computer Science, Anthropology, Sociology, and/or
Communication have faculty who specialize in language.

The goal of this conference/workshop is to discuss teaching Linguistics in the
LACs context. The main aims of this conference are to create community among
early career and senior linguists and to explore possibilities for developing
interdisciplinary concentrations or minors in our LACs.

We will have two panels (one on Thursday and one on Friday) that will help to
answer the following questions: What challenges/opportunities does studying
language from a range of disciplines present in a LAC? and How can a
concentration/minor/major be designed in a LAC when linguists are dispersed
across departments?  

For the first panel, panelists from different disciplines will illustrate
their perspectives on teaching linguistics in LACs. A Q&A session will follow
where the audience will also have a chance to discuss their experiences. In
the second panel, panelists from LACs with concentrations, minors and even
linguistics majors will illustrate the process of designing such a program.
These panelists will also lead two workshops on how to design a co-taught
course and/or a concentration/minor/major.

We especially encourage early career faculty to attend!
