HUMDRUM at Rutgers April 5-6
From local organizer Michael O'Keefe:
Rutgers Linguistics will be hosting this year's HUMDRUM on the weekend of April 5-6. Grad students working on any topic relating to Optimality Theory are invited to present their research. We will have two sessions. One will be the standard 20 minutes talk / 10 minutes questions format, and the other will be a poster session. It is worth emphasizing that this is intended to be a useful workshop for grad students, so you are welcome to present work in any stage of development.
If you would like to present I ask that you please email me by Saturday, March 8. I don't need any information besides your name and whether you'll be giving a talk or a poster. (If you do have a title or general topic area you can give me, great, but there's no need right now.)
ECO5 at UConn This Weekend
The ECO5 syntax workshop is coming up this weekend at UConn.
