March 17, 2016 @ 9:30 am - March 20, 2016 @ 3:00 pm

CAL_Workshop_Program_Buffalo

The Causality Across Languages project will host a training workshop March 17-20 (yes, during spring break – sorry!). The goal of the workshop is to instruct project members in the goals, methods, and procedures of the project. Duplicate workshops will take place at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in April and at Beihang University in Beijing in June. The preliminary program is attached. All parts of the workshop are open to interested students and faculty, but you’ll understand that the project members will have to take priority when it comes to allocating discussion time.

The list of non-UB-affiliated participants of the March workshop include Pius Akumbu (U of Buea, Cameroon), James Essegbey (UFL), Nadine Grimm (UR), Tanya Nikitina (CNRS Paris), and Mitsuaki Sasaki (U of Tokyo), as well as our esteemed alumni Kazuhiro Kawachi (National Defense Academy of Japan) and Alice Mitchell (U of Hamburg).

Current faculty and students who will be participating include Van and Yen-Ting, who will travel far to be here, as well as Anastasia, Jeff, Karl, Kate, Saima, and of course Erika, Randi, and yours truly.

As part of the workshop, the GLA will be hosting a round table on Women in Fieldwork on Friday night (March 18) concomitantly with a catered workshop dinner. Nadine Grimm will be the keynote speaker for this event. A separate announcement by the GLA will follow.
