The seventh African Linguistics School (ALS7), a two-week institute that brings the latest <\/span>in Linguistic Theory and African Linguistics to graduate students from all over Africa and other parts of the world took place at the University of Education, Winneba, Ghana, from July 22 to August 2, 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This year’s school was attended by 69 students from 11 African countries, USA, and Europe, and by 19 professors worldwide. The ALS is a very competitive school that is free of charge to students, including transportation, room, and board.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Among Rutgers teaching participants at this year’s ALS were Akinbiyi Akinlabi<\/a> and two Ph.D alumni Augustina Owusu<\/a> (Yale) and Tajudeen Mamadou<\/a> (MSU). A former RU professor, Veneeta Dayal<\/a> also taught at the school.<\/p>\n

The 2024 school was sponsored by Yale University, GLOW, and by some private donors. If you’d like more information on the conference itself, please check their website here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
