Title: Job Posting: Anthropological Linguistics: Anthropological Linguistics and Data Science
Body:
Fom: https://linguistlist.org/issues/32/32-2963/
The University of Miami (UM) Department of Anthropology seeks a language researcher, whose work relies on the tools of data science and who is eager to collaborate across (sub)fields, for a faculty position at the Assistant or Associate Professor rank. We desire an active researcher to join a department whose faculty conduct research in archeology, linguistics, physical anthropology, primatology, and cultural anthropology. The successful applicant will have a strong publication record on topics potentially including language evolution, linguistic typology, cognitive linguistics, and/or the intersection of language and culture. Any related areas of specialization will be considered, however, if the applicant incorporates quantitative data analysis to illuminate anthropological concerns, broadly construed. The ideal candidate would have an established record of original research, funding, teaching, and publication, and should be able to express how undergraduate and graduate students would be engaged in similar efforts going forward.

Title: Some Teachers are New to Laptop Integration. Here’s How to Manage It.
Body:
This article offers a series of hands-on suggestions for incorporating laptops in the classroom. Notably, the article urges educators to use laptops in classrooms in the same way that they would in real life (e.g., technology for communication, research, and presentations). Also, educators are urged to use laptops to extend the possibilities of classroom learning opportunities by creating connections with schools and learners that are not physically proximate and by bringing in cultural artifacts through such tools as Google Arts and Culture.

Title: Call for Papers: CALICO 2022
Body:
From: https://calico.org/calico-conference-2022/
The CALICO conference features five types of presentations.
Unless otherwise noted, all presentations should be delivered in English.
- Hands-on workshop (half day, full day or two day)
Workshops, as the name implies, take place in labs and consist of teaching some hands-on skill to attendees, such as a web/mobile/other application for languages, lesson development using technology for a classroom, or introducing a piece of software to users.
- Presentation (30 mins)
Individual presentations take place during the two full days of the main conference. These presentations are theory-driven and address quantitative/qualitative studies of language technology, application of technology for classroom use, or any of a range of language technology uses/applications for language acquisition. In order for proposals to be evaluated appropriately, submitters are asked to classify their presentation as Empirical Research (e.g., data-based experimental work) or Classroom Report (e.g., practice-based reports).
- Panel (75 mins)
Panel presentations involve various presenters offering multiple views of a specific topic. The longer time allows for more in-depth coverage than in an individual session.
- Technology Showcase presentation
Technology Showcase presentations take place the first night of the main conference in a more informal setting — all presenters in a large room presenting simultaneously (no projection) while attendees may approach to discuss topics individually. The Showcase lasts for 2 hours. Demonstration-based presentations work well as Showcase presentations.
- Poster presentation
Poster presentations are scheduled during the Opening or during the Showcase time and follow the same format: simultaneous presentations, with attendees approaching to discuss topics individually.
Proposals are due Friday, October 29, 2021

Title: Revitalizing Endangered Languages: A Practical Guide
Body:
From: https://www.cambridge.org/us/academic/subjects/languages-linguistics/research-methods-linguistics/revitalizing-endangered-languages-practical-guide?format=HB
Of the approximately 7,000 languages in the world, at least half may no longer be spoken by the end of the twenty-first century. Languages are endangered due to a number of factors, including globalization, education policies, and the political, economic and cultural marginalization of minority groups. This guidebook provides ideas and strategies, as well as some background, to help with the effective revitalization of endangered languages. The authors of each chapter have hands-on experience of language revitalization in many countries around the world, and each chapter includes a wealth of examples, such as case studies from specific languages and language areas. Clearly and accessibly written, it is suitable for non-specialists as well as academic researchers and students interested in language revitalization. This book is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
