Report from URLR

We hosted a workshop on Urban and Rural Language Research at Trinity College on November 9-10. Conceived by Sali A. Tagliamonte (faculty) and Arne Ziegler (University of Graz), the event brought a number of Austrian visitors to Canada. Fortunately, the snowstorm did not manage to call off the trip to Niagara Falls! Special thanks to Karlien Franco (postdoc) for her exceptional organisational work throughout the planning process, and to Arne, to Jack Chambers (faculty) and to Derek Denis (faculty) for giving the plenary talks!

Pre-workshop dinner: Arne Ziegler (University of Graz), Derek Denis (faculty), Karlien Franco (postdoc), Kaleigh Woolford (Ph.D.), Katharina Pabst (Ph.D.), Dragana Rakocevic (University of Graz), Marisa Brook (faculty), Gerrit Tscheru (University of Graz), Stefanie Edler (University of Graz), Ann Kathrin Fischer (University of Graz), and Theresa Monsberger (University of Graz).
