The Ken Hale Chair
A Linguistic Institute Professorship in Field Methods
At their May 2003 meeting, the Linguistic Society of America Executive Committee proposed establishing a professorship in field methods for all future LSA Linguistic Institutes as a way to address the strongly felt need in our profession to document endangered languages and work with communities toward their preservation. Named for Ken Hale, a linguist whose dedication to studying and preserving endangered languages is legendary, the Chair will ensure that linguistics students have access to courses that prepare them to investigate poorly documented languages even if their own institution does not offer them.
Nearly $70,000 of the $200,000 needed to permanently fund the Ken Hale Chair has been raised thus far. The Society welcomes your financial support of this chair as well. Individuals may fill out the form below and return it to the LSA Secretariat or may simply send contributions clearly labeled "For Ken Hale Chair."
