The EC has been discussing drawing up a list of
members with expertise in particular areas who might be willing to
be interviewed by the press / broadcast media. This would allow us
to respond more quickly and with greater authority when issues of
interest come into the public eye. Members would not necessarily
be speaking on behalf of BAAL, but the BAAL list could facilitate
getting an applied linguistics voice heard when appropriate.
If
you are interested in becoming part of such a list, could you send
me (individually to Susan
Hunston, not via BAALmail) your name, what you feel
competent to speak on, and a brief summary of your credentials
(i.e. those aspects of your experience that make you an expert in
a given area). |
