You are cordially invited to a prosody bootcamp on **Friday, 1/17 -
Sunday, 1/19** right before the start of the Spring semester. (Note:
date change due to popular demand). This is a component of activities
this year for the Five Colleges Prosody Community Mellon Mutual
Mentoring grant. There will be plenary lectures, research talks, and tutorials, all geared towards stimulating collaborative research on
prosody. We welcome anyone interested in learning more about prosody.
While most of the speakers at the bootcamp are from the local Five
College community, I'm delighted to share that we will also be joined
by our regional colleagues from Boston: members of the BU-MIT-Simmons Prosody Lab and Mohinish Shukla (UMass Boston).
***IMPORTANT: For head-counting, food-ordering purposes, please send me a note if you are planning to come by JANUARY 6, 2014. *****
