Title: Georgetown University Round Table on Languages and Linguistics
Body:
From https://gurt.georgetown.edu/GURT%202017#_ga=1.56298603.1169081316.1482950741
The Georgetown University Round Table (GURT) on Languages and Linguistics was first held in 1949 and has been held every year since, covering a wide range of topics differing from year to year. As in previous years, GURT 2017 will be embellished by Washington's Cherry Blossom Festival, all being well, and lead to a volume of papers published by Georgetown University Press.
GURT 2017 will focus on variable properties in language, all kinds, and particularly on how they are acquired. It will be held on 10-12 March 2017 and will consider the full range of variable properties, how they are acquired by young children or adults, and how they may change across generations of speakers. A primary goal of GURT 2017 is to foster interaction and potential collaboration among researchers investigating language from the perspective of different subfields and using a range of methodologies. The conference aims to make progress toward a biologically coherent account of the full range of variation, bridging the silos that keep sociolinguists from interacting with students of syntactic variation, and keep historical linguists apart from phoneticians working on variability. A primary goal of GURT 2017 is thus to change the dialog, and to provide opportunities for experienced scholars to mentor young scholars, including graduate students and postdocs, working on variation, encouraging them to work across domains.

Title: Latin Professional Development at Dickinson College
Body:
From http://www.dickinson.edu/info/20033/classical_studies/61/teacher_workshops
Here are two summer 2017 opportunities for Latin teachers at Dickinson College:
Conventiculum Dickinsoniense
July 5-11, 2017
The Conventiculum Dickinsoniense is an immersion seminar designed for all cultivators of Latin who wish to acquire some ability at ex-tempore expression in Latin. A wide range of people can benefit from the seminar: professors in universities, teachers in secondary schools, graduate students, undergraduates, and other lovers of Latin, provided that anyone who considers applying has a solid understanding of the grammatical essentials of the Latin language. Activities will involve both written and spoken discourse, both of which engage the active faculties of expression, and each of which is complementary to the other.
Deadline for applications is May 1, 2017.
Dickinson Summer Latin Workshop: Prudentius’ Psychomachia
July 12-17, 2017
The Dickinson Summer Latin Workshop is intended for teachers of Latin, as a way to refresh the mind through study of an extended Latin text, and to share experiences and ideas with Latinists and teachers. Sometimes those who are not currently engaged in teaching have participated as well, including retired teachers and those working towards teacher certification.
Deadline for applications is May 1, 2017.
Details for both opportunities are available at http://www.dickinson.edu/info/20033/classical_studies/61/teacher_workshops

2019: International Year of Indigenous Languages
January 8, 2017
Last month, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution on the rights of indigenous peoples, stressing the urgent need to preserve, promote and revitalize endangered languages, and proclaimed 2019 as the International Year of Indigenous Languages, inviting UNESCO to “serve as the lead agency for the Year.”
…The declaration codifies “Indigenous historical grievances, contemporary challenges and socio-economic, political and cultural aspirations” and is the “culmination of generations-long efforts by Indigenous organizations to get international attention, to secure recognition for their aspirations, and to generate support for their political agendas.”
