Institute on Collaborative Language Research

From http://linguistlist.org/issues/22/22-4292.html

CoLang 2012 is a six-week Institute on Collaborative Language Research (formerly InField). The Institute provides an opportunity for graduate students, practicing linguists, and community linguists to become trained in a wide range of skills in community-centered language documentation. The six-week institute consists of two parts: the Workshops - two weeks of intensive workshops on the practice of documentary linguistics – followed by a Practicum – a four-week apprenticeship in the application of linguistic science and technology to on-site empirical documentation (a.k.a. “field linguistics”). The two parts are integrated, as students who enroll in the Practicum are required to enroll in the preceding Workshops, thereby receiving an intensive course in documentary best practices before putting these skills to use. Participants may choose to enroll only in the two-week Workshops.

CoLang 2012 will take place in Lawrence, Kansas.
Workshops: 18-29 June 2012
Practicum: 2-27 July 2012
