If you’ve done some interesting field research, won a scholarship, or presented at a conference, please let us know so we can share it with the rest of the school. Got announcements about forthcoming SLaLS-related events? Send them along. For your item to be included in the next newsletter, it must be received by the last Thursday of the month.

Also, it is not obligatory to receive this communication. If you do not wish to receive it, please feel free to unsubscribe using the link at the bottom of the page.
