FoLLI: the Association for Language, Logic and Information
open access and open science
The Open Access movement is gaining momentum in linguistics, its ultimate goal being to provide access to published research to everyone regardless of their institutional affiliation.
TROLLing: The Tromsø Repository of Language and Lingustics
Clarin-D: infrastructure for storing and archiving linguistic data
Center for Open Science: organization that creates several products that facilitate data management, project workflow and research collaboration
summer schools
Below I list some of the summer schools I have good knowledge of. The list is not exhaustive, and I'm sure there are other events! Here is a resource that lists summer schools in Europe in a variety of fields, not limited to linguistics or philosophy.
ESSLLI: European Summer School in Language, Logic and Information, courses on the interface between linguistics, logic and computation (annual, two weeks)
NASSLLI: North American Summer School on Logic, Language and Information, courses in logic, linguistics, computer science, cognitive science, and philosophy (biannual, one week)
LSA's summer institute: all core areas of linguistics, ranging from introductory to advanced (biannual, one month)
NYI: The New York—Saint Petersburg Institute of Linguistics, Cognition and Culture (annual; recent editions held online)
EGG: the Eastern Generative Grammar summer school (annual, two weeks)
LOT summer and winter schools: organized by the Netherlands Graduate School in Linguistics, hosted on rotating basis in the Netherlands and Flanders (twice per year, two weeks)
Miracles of Human Language: a free online introduction to linguistics (Coursera also offers an optional certificate for a fee, but the class is free otherwise)
Resources for, and about, women in philosophy (why so few, for example)
lightweight backpacking
I love human-propelled travel in all forms, but long-distance hiking is my absolute passion. Here are some resources that can get one started and hopefully help to avoid some newbie mistakes: gear lists, recommendations, how-to's, trip reports and the general philosophy of being safe in the outdoors with less. If you've never backpacked, start here. Happy trails!
