Abstract

This session is meant to encourage cross-“generational” dialogue within the LSP SIG. The workshop will begin with a 55-minute panel discussion. The panelists--scholars of language and social processes who engage in "build[ing] systems that realize the full potential of people and communities" as they "conceptualize and engage a whole range of human experiences, identities, and practices," as detailed in the AERA call. Then, panelists and a moderator will offer insights about how community-driven research collectives can help scholars nuance understandings of language and interactions. Following the panel, a 60-minute paired mentoring session will occur. Here, graduate students and/or early-career LSP scholars will discuss a manuscript with senior LSP scholar-mentors with whom they have been matched in advance of the conference.
