[Gala-l] Apology for inconvenience of off-topic message

[Cashman, Holly]

Dear GALA-L subscribers,

Linguist List recently switched the software for managing lists, and due to this switch some settings were changed unexpectedly. GALA-L has been a moderated list for a little over a year now, and we require that messages are closely related to the topics of language, gender and sexuality. This means, for example, that calls for papers or conference announcements must, at a minimum, include language and gender or sexuality as a topic. Also, to the extent possible, I try to assess whether a conference or journal is legitimate and not predatory in nature. It is my feeling that the last message did not meet those basic criteria, and for that I apologize. I am thankful, however, that the message did alert me to the fact that the settings of GALA-L had been inadvertently changed, a problem that I believe has now been fixed.

If you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me individually at holly.cashman at unh.edu.

Best wishes and thank you for your patience during this transition to the new list management software,
Holly
