[RNLD] Promoting language diversity in the field - Melbourne Linguistics in the Pub – Wednesday 1st March 2017

[Ruth Singer]

*Announcement: Melbourne Linguistics in the Pub – Wednesday 1st March 2017*



*You’ve got a skin name- so use it! Promoting language diversity in the
field*



*Leading the discussion*: *Alexandra Marley*, Wellsprings of linguistic
diversity project, Australian National University



As linguists, we are occasionally called upon to provide professional
advice and consultation to government or community organisations. However,
how our advice is received, implemented or interpreted can be disappointing
and frustrating.



Given the experience collectively held by linguists engaging with a variety
of communities, organisations and policies, I want to engage in a
discussion on how to, 1) achieve a better success rate in getting
organisations and programs to follow through with their language-related
goals, and 2) develop language-positive practices in the broader community.



*Date*:      Wednesday 1st March 2017

*Time*:       6:00 - 8:00 pm
*Venue*:     Function room (out the back)

              *Naughton’s Parkville Hotel – NOTE BACK TO OLD VENUE*



*Address: *43 Royal Parade, Parkville VIC 3052

*Phone:  * (03) 9347 2255
