SUMMARY:Jaye Padgett: What Irish Gaelic tells us about all linguistic sound systems
DESCRIPTION:A Distinguished Faculty Lecture Presented by Stevenson College\,the Linguistics Department\,and the Institute for Humanities Research. \nIrish\, one of the Celtic languages\, is a minority language in Ireland\, with some features that are rare among the world’s languages. We’ll look at these striking properties of the Irish sound system. However\, we’ll also see ways in which Irish reflects deep truths about all linguistic sound systems. This will include considering how the language’s status as a minority language in a largely English- speaking country may be permanently altering its sound system. Along the way we’ll learn about using ultrasound and perceptual experiments to study sound systems.

SUMMARY:Stephanie Lain: "Content-Based Design Using Constructivist Connectionist Principles"
DESCRIPTION:In this	talk I discuss the challenges involved in designing content-based curricula for	foreign	language courses. I will illustrate the main concepts by focusing on the example of	a first-year Spanish course developed for The Middlebury Institute of International Studies	at Monterey (MIIS)\, whose Language Studies division follows an	exclusively content-based model	of instruction.	Though I	will be	speaking about	a strict interpretation	of content-based instruction (where only authentic target language materials are used)\, the information presented will be easily	applicable to any foreign language learning context where the instructor seeks	to incorporate authentic content as part of the curriculum. \nIn order to plan effectively for a content-­‐based course\, it is important to establish and clarify early on a set of guidelines for how the curriculum should be structured. I argue that an understanding of language as expressed through the perspectives of constructivism and connectionism not only lends support to the validity of content-­‐based methodology but also can provide clear directives for the kinds of activities instructors can use to engage students.

SUMMARY:Living Writers Series: Anita Hill
DESCRIPTION:The Creative Writing Program presents Anita Hill in the Winter 2015 Living Writers Series. \nIn 1991\, Anita Hill was thrust into the public spotlight when she testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee during the confirmation hearing for U.S. Supreme Court nominee\, Judge Clarence Thomas. After the hearings\, Ms. Hill began speaking to audiences worldwide about how to build on the great strides of women’s and civil rights struggles. In 1997\, Ms. Hill published her autobiography\, Speaking Truth to Power\, in which she chronicles the events of the Clarence Thomas confirmation and in 2011 Ms. Hill published her second book\, Reimagining Equality: Stories of Gender\, Race\, and Finding Home. Ms. Hill is the subject of a 2013 documentary film\, Anita\, which chronicles her experiences during the Clarence Thomas confirmation. \nIn her work\, Ms. Hill presents concrete proposals that encourage us to extend our vision of equality to include more than legal rights.
