Contact: Natalie Weber
Meetings: Fridays, 1:30pm-3:00pm ET (joint meetings with the Historical/Language Contact Group)
Description: Our aim is to support fieldwork and documentation at Yale, regardless of whether this happens in the lab or in the field. We workshop each other’s current projects and elicitation plans. We also read relevant papers and discuss fieldwork-related topics, such as technology, ethics, organization, how to make contact with speaker communities, etc. Our members range from researchers who are just beginning to reach out to communities to those with established, long-term relations in the field.
