[Linganth] Survey of Language researchers

[Savithry Namboodiripad]

Dear colleagues,

Please complete and share in your departments this short anonymous survey
about your experiences in linguistics and related fields -- we want to hear
from researchers at all stages of their careers, from all over the world,
whose work relates to language in some way. We welcome responses from those
who have left academia as well!

This survey is being undertaken by Lynn Y-S Hou (UC San Diego), Savithry
Namboodiripad (University of Michigan), Corrine Occhino (Rochester
Institute of Technology), and Anne Charity Hudley (UC Santa Barbara). It is
motivated by the recent discussions around climate and harassment in
Linguistics and related fields.

We ask two main questions:

Q1: How have our identities shaped our professional experiences?
Q2: How can we improve the climate in our field(s)?



In order to address these larger questions, the questions in this survey
address the following more specific topics:

   - Who are we?
   - In what fields and departments are we working?
   - How do we perceive the climate in our field(s)?
   - What barriers have there been to a positive climate?
   - What has facilitated a positive climate?

Ultimately, we wish to empower individuals to speak about their experiences
as members of this community, and to collect information which can be used
to offer solutions for those who would like to work toward a more inclusive
community.

We know your time is valuable: the survey takes *about* *20 min* if you
complete every section, but just completing the multiple choice questions
takes *less than 5 minutes*! And, you don't have to do it all in one
sitting!

Questions and comments can be directed to savithry at umich.edu

Thank you so much for your time!
