[HPSG-L] NASSLLI 2027 cfp

[Emily M. Bender]

The philosophy department at Kansas State University is happy to invite
course proposals for the 2027 North American Summer School in Logic,
Language, and Information (NASSLLI) to be held June 21-25, 2027 at Kansas
State University in Manhattan, Kansas in the beautiful Flint Hills region
of Northeastern Kansas.

NASSLLI courses are aimed at an interdisciplinary audience of advanced
undergraduates, graduate students and postdoctoral scholars in mathematics,
computer science, philosophy, cognitive science, linguistics, and cognate
fields. Courses are encouraged to cross boundaries between disciplines. The
purpose of NASSLLI--accomplished both through the courses and from its
collegial atmosphere and the community-building inherent in an intensive
week-long summer school--is to introduce students and scholars in one area
to tools, results, and techniques from another.

Courses should aim to be accessible to the intended audience. Courses
addressing interdisciplinary topics are particularly encouraged, but
courses focusing on single topic areas that would be accessible to students
and scholars working in other fields are permissible as well.

For more information about content, it might be helpful to peruse recent
iterations of NASSLLI, available here:

Courses typically meet for approximately 90 minutes each day, Monday
through Friday; in addition, "bootcamp" tutorials are sometimes offered on
the weekend before the main classes begin.

More details can be found below. We hope you will consider submitting a
course proposal and distributing this call widely throughout relevant
networks!

Proposal Requirements

Course proposals should be concise and include:

•⁠  ⁠Title & instructor(s)
•⁠  ⁠Outline of proposed course content (up to 500 words)
•⁠  ⁠Brief statement of teaching experience (especially in
interdisciplinary settings)
•⁠  ⁠Anticipated travel costs, including whether / to what extent this may
be self-funded (see below)
•⁠  ⁠Any special equipment/requirements/accommodations that may be needed
•⁠  ⁠Submit proposals using OpenReview via the following URL:
https://openreview.net/group?id=NASSLLI/2027/Summer_School

(Please note that new profiles created without an institutional email will
go through a moderation process that can take up to two weeks; new profiles
created with an institutional email will be activated automatically.)

Funding

Depending on the total amount of funding, we will be able to defray travel
costs for instructors. We plan to offer accommodation for up to two
instructors per course, and, contingent on overall funding, we may be able
to partially reimburse additional travel expenses for some instructors. We
strongly encourage instructors to fund their own travel and accommodation
if feasible, which lets us direct more of our funding toward student
scholarships and reimbursement for instructors without other funding
sources.

We gratefully acknowledge Amazon Automated Reasoning for their support for
NASSLLI.
