[Linganth] LSJ events at the AAAs

[Riner, Robin]

Hi all,

Please see below a list of events that the Language and Social Justice Task Force is sponsoring and/or participating in at this year's American Anthropological Association meeting in Minneapolis. We hope to see you all there!

If you would like to send an email to me (Robin) of a panel or event you are involved in that you think would be of interest to LSJ members, I can compile a list and send that around as well.

Best,

The LSJ Core Members (Netta Avineri, Susan Blum, Hilary Dick, and Robin Conley Riner)
