Call for course proposals - LSA Summer Institute 2019 

The next LSA Summer Linguistic Institute will be held at the University of
California at Davis from June 24 - July 19, 2019. The theme of the Institute
is Language in the Digital Era. 
 
We are currently accepting proposals for additional courses to be offered
during the Institute. These courses will be complemented by courses taught by
faculty directly invited by the Institute's organizing committee. The aim is
to develop a slate of courses that provides broad coverage of linguistics
within the context of the Institute's theme. 
 
All Institute courses will last for four weeks, with two 90-minute class
periods each week (for a total of eight class sessions). We are interested in
proposals for courses that are broadly related to this theme, as well as in
any area of linguistics (including those unrelated to the theme).  
 
We are particularly interested in proposals for clusters of courses that
relate to one another, especially when taught by a group of scholars
interested in using the Institute to pursue collaborative research projects.  
 
For the instructors of accepted courses, the Institute will cover the costs of
travel, housing, and will provide a small honorarium. Proposals to co-teach
courses are welcome, including proposals that split courses between two
instructors. For co-taught courses, expenses will be paid for both instructors
but the honorarium will be divided between the instructors. 
 
Proposals will be evaluated by the course review committee. On the basis of
the proposal evaluations, the LSA 2019 Institute Steering Committee will make
a final selection of courses that ensures a coherent, well-balanced
curriculum.  
 
Proposals should take the following form: 

- Course Title/Instructor(s) 
- A short course description (no more than 300 words) 
- A brief explanation of the motivation for the course (no more than 200
words, include relevance to the theme of the institute, if applicable) 
- An outline of course topics or readings (to give us a sense of how you would
fit the topic into a four-week course) 
 
A brief statement of any synergistic activities related to the course should
also be included. This might include (among other possibilities):
collaborators teaching (or proposing) other courses, relationship of the
course to workshops or other events held at the LSA annual meeting, and so on.
We encourage all proposals to explore synergies with the LSA annual meetings
(both before and after the Institute) to enhance the continuity of the
projects. We also encourage those proposing to teach a course to consider
becoming members of the LSA (if you are not already or are a lapsed member). 
 
Proposals should avoid overlap with courses already planned for the 2019
Institute (see http://lsa2019.ucdavis.edu/courses/ for a tentative list of
invited courses). 
 
The deadline for receipt of course proposals is April 1, 2018. Proposals
should be submitted as a pdf to info.lsa.institute at ucdavis.edu.
