Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics

Meeting Description:

The goal of GLOWing lectures is to provide tools, insights, and
puzzles that will remind us and show new audiences why generative
linguistics is important, invigorating, and relevant. GLOWing lectures
are intended to be exciting, inspiring, educational, and accessible
across generative subfields. There are two broad categories of GLOWing
lectures and the choice is up to the speaker:

i. What you should know about subfield X? These lectures teach
professionals from other generative subfields (semantics, phonology
etc.) what are some of the most exciting questions occupying
researchers in the speaker's subfield (and why) — perhaps also
introducing some of the important tools and methodologies of that
subfield as well.

ii. What is exciting in subfield X? These lectures provide significant
discoveries and results from one subfield.

Our vision is that a GLOWing lecture of type (i) is not addressed to
an audience of mostly specialists of that subfield. Rather, it should
be accessible to an audience that is interested in learning about
other subfields. The lectures have the potential for establishing
connections across subfields, and lay the groundwork for possible
further exchanges within the broad bounds of the generative
enterprise. Similarly, GLOWing lectures of type (ii) are intended to
be broadly accessible reflections on what the subfield has achieved,
what is missing, and directions that have been taken.

To achieve our goals to inspire further engagement within the subfield
of the lecture and to create discussions across subfields, each
lecture will have a moderator/discussant from a different subfield.
The kind of questions GLOWing lectures aim for are, for instance: What
do linguists find exciting about working in their subfield? What do
they consider major discoveries? What do they wish other people should
know about their subfield? What are some tools that are particularly
useful and important?

GLOWing lectures will have a 120 minute slot, with a lecture lasting
between 45–60 minutes, 30 minutes for discussions, and, should there
be time remaining and interest, a continued post-lecture gathering.
Partial attendance is, of course, encouraged as well.
