WORKSHOP TRACKS

The function of these tracks is to serve as guidelines, or suggested groupings of workshops, one for language activists, one for linguistics students taking Field Training, and one for other linguists. We recognize that each individual's needs and experiences are unique and hence deviations from these tracks will sometimes be appropriate. Advising will be available to those wondering whether particular workshops are likely to meet their needs.
