>   Bob Craig & Karen Tracy -  "Grounded Practical Theory”
>   Grounded Practical Theory (GPT) is a methodology for describing,
>   critiquing, and theorizing situated social practices for the purpose
>   of informing critical reflection and deliberation on practical
>   problems. GPT uses qualitative methods such as Action-Implicative
>   Discourse Analysis (AIDA) to reconstruct the problems, techniques, and
>   situated ideals that characterize a practice. This workshop will
>   provide an introduction GPT and AIDA, followed by collaborative
>   application using a case study.
>
>   Christine Mallinson - “Exploring Connections between Sociological
>   and Sociolinguistic Theories”
>   This workshop will familiarize participants with a range of classic
>   and contemporary sociological theories and examine their applicability
>   to the field of sociolinguistics.  A history of the relationship
>   between theory in sociology and sociolinguistics is covered, with a
>   focus on points of convergence and divergence. Most attention will be
>   paid to contemporary feminist theories, practice theory, and past and
>   present sociological approaches to theorizing social stratification,
>   including social class. Some of these theoretical currents from
>   sociology have not yet impacted sociolinguistic theory but may lead to
>   innovative thinking in sociolinguistics, and the potential for
>   bridging gaps between sociolinguistic and sociological theory will be
>   explored. Participants are also encouraged to bring other topics of
>   theoretical interest to be shared and discussed.
