I can’t find these panels on the AAA site: does this speak to my inability to navigate the agenda or are these separate events?
Thx

Hello,
I have a small question about the time. I am in Switzerland and would like to listen to this day in honor of Professor Judith Irvine. Is the time indicated for Chicago or for another area in the USA?
Thank you very much,

These panels honor Judith T. Irvine, Edward Sapir Distinguished University Professor Emerita at the University of Michigan. Irvine’s theoretical and methodological engagements with discipline, field site, teaching, and politics have expanded the scope and impact of linguistic anthropology. A generous colleague, she has helped place responsibility, evidence, and ideology at the center of the field. A committed mentor, she has trained her students in the union of close observation and critical analysis on which our value as a discipline depends. Irvine’s work ranges widely across theoretical sociolinguistics, semiotics, the history of colonial linguistics, and African studies. One constant in her work is an insistence on investigating how sociological and ideological conditions affect the very category of “language” itself. Zooming in and out of reified scales of analysis while also challenging their ontological status, Irvine combines broad ethnographic insights with detailed study of communicative practices. She analyzes the historical emergence of linguistic categories, and the impact they have on the interpretation of sign forms and perceptions of social and linguistic differences. Her most cited works challenge classic notions in linguistics (style, formality, code) and anthropology (participant roles, performance, scale) through the fine-grained analysis of meaning in a dialogic context. At the same time, she has helped develop powerful theoretical concepts, such as language ideology, fractility, and stance, of very general utility. The panelists represent colleagues, interlocutors, and students past and present who have responded to Irvine’s seminal insights about language and political economy, language ideology, linguistic variation and difference, responsibility in oral evidence, participant frameworks, and the critique of colonial and historical linguistics. These talks demonstrate the value of fostering conversations around issues of responsibility and engagement as linguistic anthropologists seek to advance knowledge in and beyond the field.
