The Workshop on Community-based Language Research across the Americas (CBLRAA) will be the day before the annual LSA/SSILA meetings next January. 

The workshop will take place in New York City on January 2 and 3, 2019 before the start of the annual meetings of the Linguistic Society of America (LSA) and the Society for the Study of the Indigenous Languages of the Americas (SSILA). Funded workshop participants will also be asked to prepare and present a poster at the SSILA 2019 meeting. Organizers will help guide participants on the preparation of their posters. This will be an opportunity for participants to share their experiences and ideas with a wider audience of linguistics researchers. 

Funded participants will receive financial support for travel, lodging, and meals to attend the workshop. If you need visa support to travel to the U.S., we will help to arrange this. You are eligible to apply (or be nominated) to be a funded participant if 1) you are actively involved in documentation, revitalization, reclamation or other type of project involving an Indigenous language or languages of the Americas; 2) you have some formal or informal training in linguistics; and 3) you are from an Indigenous community of the Americas. 

Preference will be given to applicants 1) whose participation is most likely to lead U.S.-based researchers to reflect on and reevaluate their own practices, 2) whose participation in the workshop is most likely to lead to new collaborations to document, revitalize, and maintain an Indigenous language or languages of the Americas, and 3) who are from regions or communities otherwise not represented at the workshop or SSILA meeting.

Applications are due by August 20, 2018.
