Apologies for cross posting, but if you have a local listserv for your
linguists, can you post this?


Subject: LSA Committee on Ethnic Diversity in Linguistics (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

The completed survey should be returned no later than Dec. 1, 2004 to
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 weldont at gwm.sc.edu.
