However, our research does not typically factor strongly in informing policy decisions within government and thepublic sector. The Committee on Public Policy <strong>of</strong> the LSA hopes to narrow the gap between linguistic research and public policythrough informing the membership about policy arenas and issues and by bringing the results <strong>of</strong> linguistic research to the attention<strong>of</strong> policy makers. The goal <strong>of</strong> this session is to explore the intersection <strong>of</strong> linguistics research and public policies that are relevantto public understanding <strong>of</strong> the complex role <strong>of</strong> language in our society.Graduate Student Panel: Getting PublishedRoom: Fairfield/Exeter/DartmouthTime: 8:30 – 10:00 PMSponsor: LSA Committee on Student Issues and Concerns (COSIAC)Panelists: Heidi Harley (University <strong>of</strong> Arizona), Colin Phillips (University <strong>of</strong> Maryland), Kai von Fintel (Massachusetts Institute<strong>of</strong> Technology), Alan Yu (University <strong>of</strong> Chicago)Topics to be discussed includeThe importance <strong>of</strong> journal publications for graduate students going on the job market.Differences between different types <strong>of</strong> publications (journal vs. book chapter vs. proceedings paper);Deciding which journals to submit to (specialty vs. general, competitive vs. less competitive, etc);What to expect from the process (turnaround times for various journals, etc);How to prepare a successful manuscript; how to execute the advice <strong>of</strong> reviewers if you receive a revise/resubmit; how todeal with rejection.Student MixerVenue: TBATime: 10:00 PM – 12:00 AMJoin your fellow students for a few hours <strong>of</strong> R&R, courtesy <strong>of</strong> the LSA’s Committee on Student Issues and Concerns (COSIAC).39
