[Linganth] SLA at the AAA only a month away

[Paul Kroskrity]

Dear Society for Linguistic Anthropology Members,

Well, folks, its almost time for most of us to be making our annual pilgrimage to the AAA meetings. Deadlines are approaching—November 11 for Hotels, airlines, etc.  I wanted to take the opportunity to contact you to alert you to two things to take in consideration as you make plans for your brief but intense sojourn in DC.

The first item is the comparative lateness of the SLA Business meeting.  Because we needed to avoid conflicts with AAA and other Sectional events, we have been scheduled for a Business meeting that will begin Saturday, December 6, at 8:30PM to be followed by our catered cash bar at around 10:00P and running through about 11:30P.  As you probably already know, the preliminary program is available and provides us with information about the many events that will be happening.  I am attaching a pdf for the SLA events that are scheduled from Wednesday through Sunday, Dec. 3-7.

The second item is an invitation to you, and members of all AAA sections, from APLA, to attend the events listed below.
Dear Colleagues,

The Association for Political & Legal Anthropology (APLA) invites you
attend our special offsite event detailed below. *Kindly circulate to your
section and other colleagues who might be interested*.
