SIAS SUMMER INSTITUTES: INVESTIGATION OF MEANING (THE ARM-CHAIR, THE FIELD, AND THE LAB)

Angelika Kratzer has asked us to help get the word out about two Summer Institutes (in 2015 and 2016) co-organized by Angelika and Manfred Krifka. These are SIAS Summer Institutes, co-sponsored by the National Humanities Center in the US and the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin in Germany. Both will bring together scholars working in (a) Theoretical Linguistics, especially Semantics and its interfaces with Pragmatics, Syntax, and Phonology, (b) Cognitive Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience, and (c) Linguistic and Anthropological Fieldwork. Their goal is to foster the development of scholarly networks and collaborative projects among young scholars from the United States and Europe. They are open to scholars who have received a Ph.D. within the past five years and Ph.D. candidates who are now studying or teaching at a European or American institution of higher education. Each institute is built around two summer workshops, one held in the United States and another in Europe. The first will take place in Berlin in July 2015, the second at the National Humanities Center in North Carolina in July 2016. The application deadline for the 2015 institute is January 6th 2015 and application materials and further information are available here. Information is also available here.
