Website: http://u.osu.edu/beal/.
The Buckeye East Asian Linguistics Forum (BEAL Forum) provides a platform primarily for graduate students to articulate and exchange their ideas on their research findings with forum participants. It is a one-day event with keynote lectures and poster sessions. The BEAL Forum is an excellent opportunity to present one’s research in a public arena and to receive comments individually. With the exception of keynote lectures, all are poster presentations, thus giving participants ample time for discussion. The event is free and open to the public.
The 2014 BEAL Forum, which is the inaugural Buckeye East Asian Linguistics Forum, takes place on Friday, 24 October 2014. This is a forum, held every two years, that provides a platform primarily for graduate students to articulate and exchange ideas on their research findings with forum participants. It is a one-day event with keynote lectures and poster sessions. The forum is spearheaded by DEALL faculty members, Professors Mineharu Nakayama, Marjorie Chan and Zhiguo Xie, with support from OSU faculty and graduate students. The BEAL Forum aims to showcase research activities in East Asian linguistics in the Buckeye state, with welcoming contributions from those at institutions in neighboring states.
