Summer school in research techniques for the study of Arabic dialects, Princeton, June 6-24, 2011
A three-week summer school in research techniques for the study of Arabic dialects, conducted by Werner Arnold (Heidelberg) and Otto Jastrow (Tallinn), will take place at the Near Eastern Studies Department, Princeton University, from June 6th to 24th, 2011. The number of participants is limited to ten; typically they are expected to be graduate students, postdocs, or tenure-track professors who already have a major area of research in the study of the Arab world and are interested in practicing Arabic dialectology alongside it. The school aims at reviving the discipline of Arabic dialectology in the United States by teaching participants how to transcribe, analyze, and interpret oral data recorded in the field. At the same time it will provide an introduction to the main findings of Arabic dialectology. After completing the summer school, participants will be ready to undertake fieldwork on their own, and are expected to do so. Possible areas of fieldwork will be suggested to them and they will receive financial support for a one-month field trip. The specialists teaching the summer school will supervise the young researchers, and ensuing publications, if deemed suitable, will receive a printing subsidy. The summer school is funded by a generous grant from the Gardner Fund of the University’s Council of the Humanities.
