[SLA Online]

Sorry for the second email, this one has the pertinent files attached!

*Society for Linguistic Anthropology *

*Interdisciplinary Public Engagement Conference Award *

*Deadline: October 1, 2019 for conferences in 2020*



SLA announces an initiative to fund conference submissions promoting the
dissemination of activist linguistic anthropology work at venues beyond the
AAA meetings, in order to promote collaboration across sub-disciplinary and
disciplinary boundaries. In previous years, SLA has supported special
colloquia on linguistic anthropology and social justice at the American
Association of Applied Linguistics conferences, at the LSA and elsewhere,
though support is not limited to AAAL or Linguistics-specific conferences.



Up to *$250 per presenter for up to eight presenters*, for reimbursement of
conference travel expenses is available, with a *cap of $2,000 per year*.
Conference travel expenses include any combination of conference
registration, air or ground travel, hotel, and meals, and receipts are
required for reimbursement. While the session chair must be a current SLA
member, presenters do not all need to be SLA members. However, only current
SLA members can receive the travel reimbursement.



We encourage theoretically sophisticated, methodologically innovative
proposals that enhance public understanding of language in relation to
social equality, challenging problematic “common sense” language
assumptions and ideologies. We particularly encourage proposals that extend
work pursued by the joint CfHR (Committee for Human Rights) and SLA
Committee on Language and Social Justice (e.g. on pejorative naming
practices, language policies, and typifications of language forms and
practices that naturalize inequalities) as well as AAA initiatives. We
would prioritize accordingly, assessing proposals as part of a general SLA
initiative promoting public outreach and education.



*The deadline for applications is October 1, 2019* to fund conference
participation during 2020. Send completed applications & supporting
materials to SLA Secretary-Treasurer Constantine V. Nakassis (
cnakassi at uchicago.edu) for consideration by the SLA board.
