[RNLD] Workshop Announcement: Plants. Animals. Words. 2014

--Apologies for Cross-Posting---

Following on from the success of PAW 2013, this year's Plants. Animals.
Words. workshop will be held at the University of Kent, Canterbury from 3-5
October 2014.

Website: www.plantsanimalswords.org <http://plantsanimalswords.org>

This year's workshop will continue the conversation between the disciplines
of linguistics and ethnobiology by sharing knowledge and skills through
hands-on training sessions and presentations from invited speakers. In
addition, participants will engage critically with the stages of planning a
collaborative research project, incorporating the topics discussed
throughout the workshop.

By the end of the workshop, participants will have an understanding of each
discipline and how their methods and goals intersect with each other, the
ethical implications of collaborative research, how to deal with data, and
how to analyse data in ways that answer questions impossible to answer from
within only one discipline.

The workshop will include hands-on training in ethics, planning an
interdisciplinary research project, audio recording and linguistic
transcription, collecting ethnobotanical data, voucher specimen
preparation, as well as data access and management. In between the
interactive training sessions there will be presentations from invited
speakers and a participatory presentation with the Ethnoornithology World
Archive.

For those interested, there will be a guided bird-watching walk in the
morning of the second or third day, weather pending.

This workshop is intended for students and experienced or early-career
researchers from the areas of ethnobiology, linguistics, anthropology, and
other relevant disciplines. Participants in the 2013 Workshop will benefit
from this year's expanded discussions.

This event offers an excellent opportunity for participants to gain
hands-on experience in ethical data gathering techniques, share
cross-disciplinary perspectives and theories, and set up a basis for future
collaborative research. Although this event is open to researchers from all
fields, spaces are limited.

If you are interested in participating in this event, please submit an
