Meeting Description:

The goal of this workshop is to foster the increasing interdisciplinarity
between prosody and sociolinguistics. The workshop will bring together prosody
researchers and researchers exploring the role of sociological variation in
prosody, with a specific focus on understudied dialects and endangered
languages, and individual differences based on gender and sexuality. We have
invited experts cross-cutting these research communities to speak at the
workshop and: (i) share the broad questions in sociolinguistics they think
would especially benefit from prosodic research, (ii) address the theoretical
and methodological challenges and opportunities that come with sociolinguistic
variation and individual variation more generally, and (iii) share insights
from their experience engaging with the broader public around issues of
understudied languages, linguistic bias, and intersectionality in science.

In addition to nine invited talks, there will be additional refereed talks,
and two poster sessions highlighting work related to the special session topic
and to topics in prosody more generally. More details on tutorials and a
satellite workshop centered on African American English prosody to follow.

We intend to make the workshop as broadly accessible as possible to those
interested. There will be some scholarship funds available for students,
including students working on endangered languages. Please contact the
organizers if there are particular accommodations that we might be able to
make available so that you can attend.
