[Ruth Singer]

Announcement:

*SPINNING A BETTER YARN: DECOLONISING LINGUISTICS STUDY GROUP*
The Indigenous Alliance for Linguistic Research, Centre of Excellence for
the Dynamics of Language, Sydney Indigenous Research Hub and the Research
Unit for Indigenous Language, have formed a new study group called
‘Spinning a Better Yarn: Decolonising Linguistics study group’. This study
group aims to discuss topics of relevance to Indigenous communities
involved in linguistic research and linguists more broadly, around framing
a new ethical model for linguistic research based on a human rights agenda.

Each month there will be a talk, and usually also a set reading. We are
excited to be organising this study group and we welcome the opportunity to
discuss many important topics in a friendly and open manner. It is
extremely important that all discussion takes place in a safe and
respectful manner. The study group will take place on Zoom. The sessions
will run for 1.5 hours and the presentation will be followed by plenty of
time for discussion and questions.



*Second meeting: 15th September 4pm-5.30pm*
*Topic: *Roles and attributions in research outputs
Presenters: Felicity Meakins and Myf Turpin

In this session, we will discuss authorship and the explicit recognition of
multiple roles in research, which means all contributions to publications
are equally valued. We will also discuss copyright and intellectual
property statements to ensure future uses of knowledge are undertaken
appropriately. We will also touch on models of research supervision and
creative work + exegesis PhDs.

Set reading: Meakins, F., Green, J., & Turpin, M. (2018). Understanding
linguistic fieldwork. London: Routledge. Chs 2-3.
