Meeting Description:

The Society for the Study of the Indigenous Languages of the Americas (SSILA)
is planning to hold its next annual winter meeting jointly with the Linguistic
Society of America (LSA) in Washington, DC on January 6-9, 2022. SSILA
meetings allow scholars to present on a wide range of topics centered on any
aspect of Indigenous American languages.

It should be noted that depending on the progression of the global pandemic
over the next few months, the SSILA executive committee may decide to hold the
meeting in an online or hybrid (in-person and online) format instead.


Call for Organized Session Proposals: 

SSILA welcomes proposals for organized sessions. This is an opportunity for
researchers to present a series of presentations that revolve around a single
typological, methodological or areal theme. These sessions may be in the form
of a symposium (several presentations focused on a specific theme), a workshop
(presentations with invited discussants), a tutorial (intensive instruction on
a specific topic), a datablitz (a session composed of many very short
presentations), and other types of sessions with a clear, specific, and
coherent rationale. The presentations must be based on original research
focusing on the linguistic study of the Indigenous languages of the Americas. 

Organized sessions involve more than one scholar and are expected to make a
distinctive and creative contribution to the meeting. Proposals for organized
sessions are NOT reviewed anonymously. 

Abstract Submission: 

The deadline for receipt of organized session proposals is on May 5 at 11:59PM
(Hawaii-Aleutian time). 

Authors of successful SSILA session proposals may wish to submit their
proposals to the LSA for co-sponsorship. Please note that the LSA deadline for
organized sessions is on May 17. The SSILA committee will make a decision
about these proposals before the LSA submission deadline. For more information
on submitting organized session proposals to the LSA 2022 Annual Meeting, see
the LSA website
(https://www.linguisticsociety.org/content/lsa-2022-annual-meeting).

All organized session proposals should be submitted electronically by e-mail
to SSILA Program Committee Administrator Martin Kohlberger
(conferences at ssila.org). Any queries prior to the submission deadline can also
be sent to this e-mail address. Proposals should be submitted in English.

The proposal must indicate whether it is intended to be a joint SSILA/LSA
session or a SSILA session only, and should include:
(1) a session title;
(2) the type of session (e.g. symposium, workshop, tutorial, datablitz, etc.);
(3) the name, affiliation and e-mail addresses of organizers;
(4) the session length (either 1.5 hours or 3 hours);
(5) a session abstract of up to 1000 words outlining the purpose and
motivation for the session, as well as the social impacts (e.g. contribution
to community goals, broader outcomes);
(6) the names and affiliations of all participants, their role (paper
presenter, introducer, moderator, discussant, etc.), and the titles of papers;
(7) a complete timetable (note that organized sessions do not have to follow
the 20-minute paper + 10-minute discussion format, but the presentation format
should be clearly described);
(8) 200-500 word abstracts for each paper or poster presentation

All organizers and presenters must be members of SSILA
(https://www.ssila.org/en/membership-information) in order for their proposal
to be accepted. The membership requirement may be waived for Indigenous
community scholars and language practitioners. It may also be waived for
co-authors or for participants in organized sessions who are from disciplines
other than those ordinarily represented by SSILA (linguistics and linguistic
anthropology). Waivers can be requested by contacting the SSILA Secretary,
Mary Linn (secretary at ssila.org).

Please note that there will be a call for regular papers in May. This call is
only for organized session proposals.
