Introducing myself, my work, and my ideas for digital content at SLA. I see the Society for Linguistic Anthropology’s digital content as serving essentially two audiences: Society members and a broader public. My goal as DCE is to continue the good work undertaken by the SLA in recent years and to carry it forward into the future. SLA members also have a role to play in digital content, contributing your knowledge and expertise.
Submissions are now open for the 2012 Edward Sapir book prize.
