Linguistic Field(s): Anthropological Linguistics; Applied Linguistics; Cognitive Science; Language Acquisition; Sociolinguistics 

Meeting Description: 

The Department of Linguistics at Boston University invites (self-)nominations
of junior scholars from underrepresented minority (URM) groups for a new
speaker series to be held in the academic year 2020-21. (Note: by junior
scholars, we mean advanced doctoral students, postdoctoral fellows, and
early-career faculty, and by URM, we mean racial/ethnic groups historically
underrepresented in the academy -- people of Black/African American, Native
American/Alaska Native, Latinx, and/or Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander
descent.)

This speaker series will bring emerging scholars in linguistics to Boston
University to share their work with our department and the broader academic
community. We are particularly interested in scholars working on topics in the
area of language acquisition and/or language variation and change. Invited
scholars will be guests of the Department of Linguistics for two days, to
include individual and small-group meetings with faculty and students as well
as a public research colloquium. All travel and accommodation expenses and a
modest honorarium will be covered by Boston University.
