John Kingston will be taking his show on the road through May and June, with talks and classes at Nijmegen, Paris and San Pablo, Oaxaca. Here, in his own words, is a description of his itinerary.
9-11 May 2012. Relations in Relativity: New Perspectives on Language and Thought. Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen. Invited talk or a side in a conversation with Emmanuel Dupoux on whether linguistic knowledge affects speech perception early or late -- I argue that the effects are late. I'll also be participating in master classes for graduate students and a panel discussion. Details can be found at: http://www.mpi.nl/events/relations-in-relativity
13 May-13 June 2012. International chair, Empirical Foundations of Linguistics. I'll be giving a weekly seminar on the relationship between speech perception and sound perception and collaborating with colleagues Jacqueline Vaissiere, Cecile Fougeron, Pierre Halle, Barbara Kuhnert, Annie Rialland, Rachid Ridouane and others at the Laboratoire de Phonétique et de Phonologie.

15-24 June 2012. Taller de tonos para linguistas hablantes de lenguas de Mesoamerica. (trans: Workshop on tone for native-speaker linguists of Mesoamerican languages). Together with Emiliana Cruz from Anthropology and a number of other colleagues from the US and Mexico, I will be lecturing on the phonetics, phonology, and historical development of tone in morning sessions and advising small groups focused on particular languages in the afternoon sessions.
