From campbell-kibler.1 at osu.edu Mon Oct 2 13:42:24 2023 From: campbell-kibler.1 at osu.edu (Campbell-Kibler, Kathryn) Date: Mon, 2 Oct 2023 17:42:24 +0000 Subject: [Somean] Friday: Paul Cockrum In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hi all, This Friday in So Mean Paul will give a dry run of his upcoming NWAV presentation "Who Speaks ?Taiwanese?? Language Variation, Standardization, and Creation" and then will lead us in a discussion of positionality. Some relevant readings are attached for that discussion. Pick the one that calls to you. As usual, we?ll meet 10:30-noon on Friday, in Oxley 122 and at https://osu.zoom.us/j/94772575814?pwd=bSttdi9FQy9UU1pYd05kaEdNbk4xUT09 See you then! -K From: Cockrum, Paul Rickford (1997) ? Meta commentary on the field of sociolinguistics and the relationship to the AA community. Gives a lot of discussion on how the field of sociolinguistics can better provide benefits to the community. Lin (2015) ? This is not a journal article, but instead a chapter in a methodology book. While less strictly applicable to sociolinguistics, I still thought the discussion was useful as it brings in some great questions one should ask themselves as they design and embark on new research. Bucholtz et. Al (2023) ? a new paper talking about how the ontological experiences of researches provides benefits to research in ways that were not expected by the researchers (discussion on how undergraduate students with lived experiences provided a really helpful view on a project working with a minoritized community). Lorette (2023)- broad discussion on how a researcher?s own language ability and familiarity with the target can affect the conclusions that can be drawn. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

His name is Gideon Kortenhoven and he?s a graduating senior at the University of Michigan, who?s done some work with Marlyse Baptista and Jessi Grieser. I?m not entirely sure yet which of the timeslot are our job to cover vs. the GPS organizers, but if you?re willing to meet with him or walk him places can you let me know, and tell me when you?re available those days? I do know we specifically need someone who can meet him at the Blackwell at 9am on Monday the 30th and bring him to the department. And there?s a roundtable discussion for students at the Blackwell Sunday Oct 29th 8:30-10pm (I assume there will be fancy food there?) if anyone wants to go to that. There?s also a banquet on Monday Oct 30 at 6:30pm, with a speech and everything. That may not sound like a positive, but the speech-giver is Dr. Treva Lindsey (https://wgss.osu.edu/people/lindsey.268) who is new faculty in WGSS and seems very cool. They?re officially asking for a grad studies chair but I?m sure we could send students if anyone wants to go since it?s listed as GSC or ?Designee? so Micha can design who he wants. The rest is just meeting with him, maybe giving him a tour of campus or the department, walking him to meetings, stuff like that, whenever you?re available. Much gratitude for anyone who can help out!

Building on her book, Decarcerating Disability: Deinstitutionalization and Prison Abolition (2020), Ben-Moshe will show how abolition is not an unattainable goal but rather a reality, and how it plays out in different arenas of incarceration ? antipsychiatry, the field of intellectual disabilities and the fight against the prison-industrial complex. Following her presentation, Ben-Moshe will facilitate discussion around key terms, concepts and practices linked to abolition and freedom dreams, including exploration of some of the limitations of disability rights and inclusion discourses. ________________________________ This event is cosponsored by the Global Arts + Humanities and the Disability Studies Program RSVP here https://globalartsandhumanities.osu.edu/events/liat-ben-moshe-decarcerating-disability -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Very So Mean relevant! -K From: Modan, Galey Date: Sunday, October 15, 2023 at 12:14 AM To: Campbell-Kibler, Kathryn Subject: Fieldwork and ethnography of communication class Theorizing Folklore II: Fieldwork and Ethnography of Communication COMPSTD 6750.02 ENGLISH 6751.02 This course is a graduate-level introduction to ethnography that is rooted in the perspectives and practices of folklore, sociolinguistics, and linguistic anthropology. Students will conduct semester-long mini-ethnographies on a topic of their choosing. You will develop skills in approaching members of a community, observing social interaction while participating in it, developing research questions, conducting interviews, and, ultimately, analyzing the discourse you?ve observed, participated in, and recorded using the tools of ethnography of communication. We?ll talk about concrete and conceptual issues critical to conducting ethnography, including research ethics, collaboration and working relationships with community members, navigating tense situations, writing and using fieldnotes, and thinking through ethnographer positionality. In the second half of the class, we?ll read foundational and contemporary ethnographies of communication, considering such issues as the politics of representation, the interplay of language and context in meaning making, speech genres and styles, and language ideologies. Your mini-ethnography will culminate in the preparation of a conference paper. How does this class differ from the Ohio Field School? The Center for Folklore Studies? field school is a graduate/undergraduate class and practicum in which students conduct a collaborative ethnography project, working with grassroots community organizations to explore how Appalachian Ohioans are responding to economic, environmental and cultural change through their everyday practices and expressive culture. Sustainability and archiving are central objects of inquiry, with more specific research questions developed collaboratively among students and community members each semester. There is also often a strong focus on material culture and environment, and each semester?s project culminates in a public exhibit. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
