[Linganth] seeking new members for Language & Social Justice core committee

[E. Mara Green]

The Language and Social Justice (LSJ) Committee is seeking two to three new
members to join the core committee for an (almost) three-year term starting
ASAP and ending in January 2027. The LSJ is a standing committee of the
Society for Linguistic Anthropology dedicated to increasing awareness of
and responding to language-related injustice. Core members work to organize
the efforts of committee members and serve three-year terms to provide a
strong institutional memory in the core group. New core committee members
will become co-chairs in their third year (calendar year 2026) on the core
committee.

If you are interested, please send a short email (300 words) expressing
your interest to the current co-chairs at your earliest convenience:

Kyle Fraser, kfraser at bmcc.cuny.edu

Mara Green, egreen at barnard.edu

Nadxieli Toledo Bustamante, toledobustamante at csus.edu

There is no formal deadline; the positions will be open until filled.

In your statement of interest, please include what issues you are
particularly interested in, and what experience you have in advocating for
language-related justice.

We encourage applications from historically marginalized and
underrepresented groups, including but not limited to BIPOC (Black,
Indigenous, & (other) people of color) scholars, deaf, disabled, and
neurodivergent scholars, queer and trans scholars, and scholars with
diverse language backgrounds. We also encourage applicants at all career
stages (including graduate students) and with any or no institutional
affiliation.

Please feel free to share this call with colleagues who you think might be
interested.
