CEDL Minority Scholar Survey

The Linguistic Society of America’s Committee on Ethnic Diversity in
Linguistics (CEDL) is conducting a survey of minority scholars in the
field to determine how the recruitment and retention of minority
linguists might be improved. We are, therefore, asking undergraduate
students, graduate students, and faculty members in linguistics who
are members of minority groups in the US to participate in this
survey. For the purposes of this survey, the term 'minority' refers
to "members of racial and ethnic groups in the US that have been
historically disenfranchised in the US and are traditionally
underrepresented in higher education in general, and in linguistics
in particular." This includes, but is not limited to African
Americans, Mexican Americans, Puerto Ricans, and Native Americans. To
download the survey, please visit the CEDL website at
<http://www.lsadc.org/committees/index.php?aaa=ethnic.htm>http://www.lsadc.org/committees/index.php?aaa=ethnic.htm
.

The completed survey should be returned no later than Dec. 1, 2004 to
<mailto:mreynolds at lsadc.org>mreynolds at lsadc.org or by snail mail to
Maggie Reynolds; The Linguistic Society of America; 1325 18th Street,
NW, Suite 211; Washington, D.C. 20036-6501. If you have any questions
regarding the survey itself, please contact Tracey Weldon, the 2004
CEDL chair, at <mailto:weldont at gwm.sc.edu>weldont at gwm.sc.edu.
