@gordongee Your vision to destroy productive language and linguistic programs to save inflated administrators' salaries? To lose hundreds of thousands in grant money brought in by those programs, and leave students without the opportunity to learn linguistic and cultural competence?
@Martina55968922 Hey! Yes! Of course! Shoot me an email at dickinson.130 at https://t.co/vRGsmcE2NZ and I'll send you copy of my presentation and we can chat more if you like!
Feeling sad at #LSA2022 - My session just finished and I wasn't given the chance to take questions or get feedback. I'm disappointed because part of the beauty of conferences is get feedback from peers...#disappointed
Feeling sad at #LSA2022 - I was asked to prerecord my presentation case of technical issues. In my session, I wasn't given the chance to present, the recording was just played. Then the feed cut off, and I I couldn't even take questions.....why did I come to my own presentation?
When my presentation ended, the stream was still going with the interpreter standing there, but then whoever was behind the scenes at slidespiel just removed my slides and cut the feed.
Thank you everyone so much for your support. Truthfully, I don’t think this was a technical glitch, I think it was poor communication, because they gave virtual presenters no details how how it work day of.
um. in the #LSA2022 session i’m in (which had a host of technical difficulties), the following was put into the chat, then deleted
missing posters, last minute communication, can’t accommodate multiple presenters, no captions in videos, etc… @LingSocAm
@Linguischick Cute puppy! I'm particularly sad because of the work I put into my poster, and when I wrote to slidespiel staff asking when it would be visible, they replied: "later. sorry".....
@sarahrbpayne I completely agree! I was able to switch to virtual because my session was already hybrid, but the lack of communication about how to prepare virtual presentations, and the technical difficulties with slidespiel make me wonder who will even see my presentation.
@dapiridoobman@LingSocAm This is ridiculous! We all have dedicated so much time to our research and preparing to present....not to mention paying to attend....
@IngrahamAngle As language SCIENTISTS, linguists will tell you that Lebron's language is NOT ungrammatical. Did you ever think to ask someone who knows? No, you'd rather be not only wrong, but also casually racist. #linguistics#LeBronJames#LauraIngraham#casualracism
