The HSP society developed out of years of collaboration from members of the scientific community associated with the CUNY conference on human sentence processing. Below are the committees that contributed to this effort.
Interim advisory committee (2018-2019): This group began conversations about whether we should form a society and if so, what it should look like. Our initial goal was to consider whether the community of scholars associated with the CUNY conference would be well served by a formal society, and learning about what steps this would require. For starters, we are forming an informal society webpage. Future goals will be to consider whether to form an official society, and begin steps in that direction.
Chair: Sarah Brown-Schmidt; Members: Jennifer Arnold; Brian Dillon; Fernanda Ferreira; Vic Ferreira; Maryellen MacDonald
Website committee (2018-2021): Brian Dillon and Jennifer Arnold
Society development committee (2019-2021): This group developed a specific proposal for a nonlegal society and presented it to the CUNY conference community in March 2021 for a vote. The community overhwhelmingly supported the foundation of a society. Chair: Jennifer Arnold; Members: Brian Dillon; Ted Gibson; Jesse Harris; Colin Phillips, Shari Speer.
Naming committee (2019-2021): In parallel with launching this society, it became clear that the original CUNY name was no longer appropriate for this conference. This group developed a procedure for eliciting name suggestions and voting on alternatives, which was presented to the CUNY conference community in March 2021 for a vote. Chair: Tessa Warren, Members: Amit Almor, Janet Fodor, Daphna Heller, Tom Wasow, Eva Wittenberg.
Voting committee 1 (March 2021): This group oversaw the vote to create a society and change the name of the conference in March 2021 at the CUNY conference held virtually at UPenn. Jennifer Arnold, Brian Dillon, Jesse Harris, Vic Ferreira, Miren Edelstein.
Voting committee 2 (May-June 2021): Emily Morgan and Eva Wittenberg oversaw the vote for the inaugural President and Vice President for the society.
Business committee (2018-2021): This group provided discussion, feedback, and guidance about the shaping of the society and name procedure: Gerry Altmann, Amit Almor, Jennifer Arnold, Diane Bradley, Sarah Brown-schmidt, Craig Chambers, Rui Chaves, Chuck Clifton, Mike Dickey, Brian Dillon, Eva Fernandez, Fernanda Ferreira, Vic Ferreira, Janet Fodor, Lyn Frazier, Susanne Gahl, Ted Gibson, Peter Gordon, Zenzi Griffin, John Hale, Jesse Harris, Daphna Heller, Yi Ting Haung, Elsi Kaiser, Edith Kaan, Al Kim, Jean-Pierre Koenig, Ellen Lau, Roger Levy, Maryellen MacDonald, Gail Mauner, Emily Morgan, Jared Novick, Neal Peralmutter, Colin Phillips, Liina Pylkkanen, Amy Schafer, Jesse Snedeker, Shari Speer, Adrian Staub, Patrick Sturt, Matt Traxler, John Trueswell, Julie Van Dyke, Matt Wagers, Tessa Warren, Tom Wasow, Duane Watson, Eva Wittenberg, Masawya Yoshida, Judith Degen, Tamara Swaab, Whitney Tabor
