Fieldwork has been a component of a diverse set of humanistic research areas, including linguistics, sociology, human geography, anthropology, to name a few. While each of these areas has stocked its own methodological toolbox, linguistic theory supported by fieldwork stands to benefit from conversations at the methodological intersections across disciplines. These intersections are both practical and theoretical; we share many day-to-day concerns about getting to and being in the field, as well as a commitment to motivate theory from an empirical base. With the goal of exploring the significance of fieldwork for research practice and theory in linguistics and other fields, we have organized a one-day workshop that is intended to initiate conversations with other programs about fieldwork across disciplines on the OSU campus.
The program and information about the participants can be found here.
