Workshops:
The HLS 2022 organizing committee invites proposals for workshops. In the past, HLS has hosted different career workshops, often oriented to junior faculty and graduate students, on a variety of topics (best practices of statistical analysis, getting hired in a teaching-intensive university, etc). We would like to continue this tradition in HLS 2022 by inviting proposals for 60 minute workshops. Special consideration will be given to proposals focusing on primary and secondary bilingual education.
Workshop proposals should:
Be applied in nature, i.e., offer practical skills to attendees.
Be structured as follows: (a) write “WORKSHOP” at the top of the document followed by the suggested title, (b) include a brief overview of the topic or goal of the session (what practical skills will attendees gain?) (c) specify the intended audience (junior faculty, phoneticians, etc), (d) and include a workshop agenda (in the form of a list) structuring the content of the 60 minute session.
Be submitted in pdf. format and should not exceed two pages.
Not include the name of the organizers, presenters or affiliations.
