The rising tide of data management and sharing requirements from funding agencies, publishers, and institutions has created a new set of pressures for researchers who are already stretched for time and funds.

Symposium: Linguistics in the Public Sphere: An Advocacy Workshop

Organizers: Alyson Reed- LSA Executive Director

Bill Ladusaw- former Dean of Humanities at UC Santa Cruz, long-time advocate for linguistics in the public sphere.
