The Arizona Linguistics Circle (ALC) is a graduate-student-run conference held every year since 2007 at the University of Arizona. Every ALC has a different theme, which is chosen with the intent of fostering deeper investigation into a particular area of inquiry. However, papers from all areas of linguistics are always welcome. Our goal is to provide a welcoming yet constructive environment for linguistic inquiry and the dissemination of new and continuing linguistic research.

Anti-Harassment Policy

We believe that respect for all individuals and groups, the freedom of thought and expression, and the open exchange of ideas are central to the aims of the Arizona Linguistics Circle (ALC). The ALC13 Organizing Committee would like to affirm our commitment to creating a respectful, healthy, and safe working environment for everyone, and this includes participants at the ALC13 conference and at all affiliated events. Any form of harassment and any disrespectful or hostile behavior is not welcome at the ALC13 conference or at any events associated with ALC.

Unwelcome behavior includes: speech or actions that intimidate, create discomfort, or interfere with a person's ability to participate in the ALC13 conference or in affiliated events; and any form of harassment, including but not being limited to degrading verbal comments, intimidation, stalking, harassing photography or recording, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention. We especially stand against any form of harassment that is based on race, gender, religion, age, color, appearance, national origin, ancestry, linguistic background, disability, socioeconomic status, or sexual orientation. We would like to also state that we do not condone any action or behavior which may lead to the acceptance or normalization of any form of misconduct.

Ultimately we intend for ALC to be an environment in which any such behavior does not occur. If you have any concerns or questions regarding these matters, please do not hesitate to contact a member of the ALC13 Organizing Committee for assistance.
