Talk Story Sessions and Workshops
Following a format introduced at the ICLDC 2017, we are including a 90-minute block on Thursday, Friday and Saturday to be dedicated to two alternative conference activities: Workshops and Talk Story sessions.
Talk Story Sessions
Introduced at ICLDC 2017 in response to participant feedback, ICLDC 2019 will again have “Talk Story” sessions. These discussions will be led by an expert discussant and limited to 20-30 attendees per session. Each Talk Story will be repeated on three days of the conference, allowing ample opportunity for conference attendees to participate in the Talk Story sessions of their choice. Talk Story sessions are meant to be fully interactive for participants, rather than a one-directional presentation of information. This format may be particularly appropriate for discussion of the challenges of technology and its role in language reclamation and language documentation.
Workshops
We also welcome proposals for Workshops on topics broadly relating to language and technology, particularly where it impacts communities. Each 90-minute workshop will be held twice over three days of the conference, allowing multiple opportunities for interested attendees to participate. Workshops will accommodate a larger number of participants and are intended to be more presentational and instructional in style than the Talk Story sessions. Appropriate workshop topics will be related to the conference theme and may include instruction in use of software tools, development of new software tools, development of web technologies, novel methods for digital hardware tools, etc.
