We were very worried when we were told the other day that the Crommelin Field Station at Pearl Beach – where we were going to hold the Papuanists’ Workshop – had suffered an attack from killer termites and had been declared unsafe (although it will be repaired by next year). This meant that our workshop was without a venue. So after much deliberation we decided to hold the workshop at the university.
Now we’re at the university the workshop has some more space for audience members and is also a little bit more accessible to people in Sydney who did not want to commit to a weekend at Pearl Beach. If you’re interested in coming to the workshop now that it’s in Sydney, please send me an e-mail. You can find the program for the workshop and my contact information at http://www.arts.usyd.edu.au/departs/linguistics/ling/papuan_2006/pbpwpp2006.html My e-mail address is at the very end of the document. It’s written in a way that is meant to be readable to people while confounding programs that search for e-mail addresses to add to spam mailing lists.
