Society for the Study of the
Indigenous Languages of the Americas (SSILA)
2024 Annual Meeting
The 2024 annual meeting will be held in person, jointly with the Linguistic Society of America (LSA) in New York City, January 4-7, 2024.
Travel Award Fund Drive - Matching Donations
SSILA has offered Travel Awards in the past based in part on financial need. We generally receive requests totaling $13,000 to $17,000 and have had a total budget of just $3,000 to give out. We are very happy to report that Stephen R. Anderson and Janine Anderson-Bays have pledged up to $5,000 in matching funds to SSILA. To take advantage of their offer, we are currently seeking donations of any amount and the matching funds will be used specifically to assist with travel to the 2024 annual meetings held jointly with LSA.
