I think it is an excellent opportunity to enhance our own conference. I say
we schedule in on the field linguistics Summer workshop. It definitely
would be of major interest to me.

Dear friends and colleagues,
The Anthropology Department at the University of Kansas is hosting a field
linguistics Summer workshop here in Lawrence next June. We have an
opportunity to “piggyback” next year’s Siouan and Caddoan Linguistics
Conference (SCLC) on this workshop. We would likely be able to get one
media-enhanced room that held up to 40-50 people from e.g. 9-5 on June
15-17, the Friday, Saturday, and half of Sunday preceding the “Co-Lang
workshop”. Inexpensive “student housing” may also be available. This
arrangement would enable the workshop participants to see some of the
results of “real” field investigation and language maintenance/revival
efforts. Siouanists would also be able to interact with workshop
participants. This seems to me to be a good opportunity, especially since
none of our number at this year’s conference volunteered to host the meeting
next year.
I will need to let Arienne Dwyer at KU know within the next couple of weeks
if we wish to pursue this possibility. Please let me know what you think.
You can reply to the list or, if you wish, you can write me off-list at
rankin at ku dot edu.
Bob
