    <p>Stanford PRISM (Postdoctoral Recruitment Initiative in Sciences and Medicine) is an opportunity for select late-stage graduate students from diverse backgrounds to come to Stanford for a recruitment weekend, interview with potential mentors, and get the inside scoop on postdoctoral training at Stanford. The purpose of this program is to encourage<br>
    those who might not currently consider a postdoctoral position at Stanford to get a first-hand look at whether Stanford might be a good fit for them. Our goal is to match excellent trainees with excellent mentors at Stanford.</p>
    <p>This opportunity is open to all. We encourage those from underrepresented backgrounds, including but not limited to African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, Pacific Islanders, or those with disabilities or from disadvantaged backgrounds, to apply. Applications consist of an application form, a CV, a research statement, a recommendation from your graduate advisor, and the names of up to 6 potential mentors at Stanford. The application closes on <span><span>January 15</span></span>, though we are reviewing early submissions now.</p>
    <p>For more information or to apply, go to <a href="http://postdocs.stanford.edu/PRISM" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">http://postdocs.stanford.edu/PRISM</a></p>
    <p>Any questions can be directed to Robin Sugiura, <a href="mailto:rsugiura@stanford.edu" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">rsugiura@stanford.edu</a>.</p>

Written by a range of top sociolinguists, both veteran and emerging scholars, it covers the main areas of research design, conducting research, and sharing data findings. In addition to revisions of original material, this edition includes nine new vignettes covering such topics as collecting data from social media, conducting linguistic landscape research, forensic linguistic data collection, and working with transgender communities. A companion website, <a href="http://sociolinguisticdatacollection.com">http://sociolinguisticdatacollection.com</a>, provides enhanced pedagogical features such as discussion questions, activities, end-of-chapter exercises, and contributor videos. This volume is the one-stop, go-to guide for the numerous quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods used in sociolinguistic research; it is the ideal resource for undergraduate and graduate courses in sociolinguistic research, field methods and data collection.</div>

<Title>Research Methods Skills (Folger Institute)</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <h6>Pre-candidacy students are encouraged to apply to this program. Travel and lodging grants are provided by the consortium for all admitted participants.<br>
    </h6>
    <br><h5>A Folger Orientation to Research Methods and Agendas</h5>
    <br><strong><em>Late-Spring Intensive Skills Course</em></strong><br><br>The best research is inquiry based and allows for serendipity. A scholar needs to sharpen research questions and search skills simultaneously and with sensitivity to the ways questions and sources affect each other. The available evidence may invite a new thesis, require a revised approach, or even suggest a new field of exploration. This intensive week is not designed to advance participants’ individual research projects. Rather, it aims to cultivate a habit of curiosity into primary sources with exercises that engage participants’ research interests. It is offered to help early-stage graduate students develop a set of research-oriented literacies as they explore the Folger’s rich collections. With the guidance of visiting faculty and Folger staff, up to two dozen participants will examine bibliographical tools and their logics, hone their early modern book description skills, and improve their understanding of the cultural and technological histories of texts. Participants will ask reflexive questions about the nature of primary sources, the collections that house them, and the tools whereby one can access them.<br><br> <br>Schedule: Monday through Friday, 9:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m., 7 – 11 May 2018<br><br> <br><strong>Apply:</strong> 8 January 2018 for admission and grants-in-aid. This skills course is intended for students in the early years of graduate work. In addition to following the general application guidelines, applicants for this course should describe a research question, the motivating reason to look to primary sources to answer this question, and any previous experience with early modern materials. If a participant is able to arrange for one graduate credit on the home campus under the direction of an on-campus advisor, the Institute will certify participation. <br><br> <br>Please contact <a href="mailto:institute@folger.edu">institute@folger.edu</a> with any questions.

<Title>Of Note: Montia Gardner</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Montia Gardner (Cohort '19) has recently been awarded a short-term fellowship award from the <a href="https://www.monticello.org/site/research-and-collections/robert-h-smith-international-center-jefferson-studies" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Robert H. Smith International Center for Jefferson Studies</a>. This award allows fellows, like Montia, to use the  Digital Archeological Archive of Comparative Slavery or Getting Word (an oral history project of the descendants of Monticello’s enslaved families.)<br><br>This a the description of Montia's research statement:<br><br> “The Reproductive Resistance of Enslaved Women in the Antebellum South” explores the history of resistance practices used by enslaved women to reclaim ownership of their bodies and reproductive rights lost due to chattel slavery. On January 1, 1808, with over four million Africans enslaved in the south, northern and southern congressmen joined in a vote to abolish the African slave trade.  The termination of the trade caused a free labor shortage and it would have been necessary for planters to decide the method in which they would increase human stock.  The most inexpensive way would be through breeding or natural reproduction. My research explores the documented accounts of reproductive resistance practices of enslaved women and midwifery techniques associated with birthing and gynecological care.<br><br>Congratulations, Montia.<br><br><br>
