Participants:

Chad Howe, University of Georgia

Susan Tamasi, Emory University

Marianne Mason, Georgia State University

Donald Tuten, Emory University

Note: This panel will be an open discussion on the formation of a new Georgia Linguistics

Network (GLN). Our hope is to develop a localized (i.e. state level) academic community for those conducting research and /or teaching courses in linguistics throughout the state. This network will also facilitate public discussions of linguistics and language-related topics. Coming from different schools and career lines, each of the panelists will discuss what they would like to see from the GLN. However, the majority of the session will be dedicated to receiving input from the audience who are encouraged to offer any relevant input. Some ideas to be discussed include: internal networking and collaboration for members, an external presence for those looking for partnerships with linguists, a web site, local conferences or other public opportunities to present work, support for graduate student research, and collaborative funding initiatives.

Note: This panel will explore a series of discussion questions: What are some of the strategies individuals, departments, and institutions have adopted to manage budget reductions? What special pressure might Humanities programs experience a result of budget tightening? How can we support members of our professional community particularly at risk in these difficult times?

How can we better prepare students for today's economic realities? How can those who work a

"second shift" achieve balance between family responsibilities, shrinking salaries and investment portfolios, higher living expenses, and continuing institutional expectations for teaching, service, and scholarship? Does the current economic climate offer any new opportunities for Humanities programs and faculty?
