Conference of the American Association for the Advancement of Science
Dates: February 15 – 18, 2008
Venue: Boston, MA
ESF provided funding to support a symposium organized by former board member and ESF co-founder Dr. E. James Lieberman at the 2008 conference of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in February 2008 in Boston. The symposium addressed linguistic inequality in the scientific community and featured three speakers: Jose Antonio Vergara (Chile), Ulrich Ammon (Germany) and Humphrey Tonkin (USA). The symposium caused a considerable stir among scientists who had hitherto failed to recognize such language discrimination in their ranks, and reports appeared in newspapers across the world, including Die Welt in Germany and newspapers in Belgium and Pakistan. The US periodical The Scientist ran an editorial on the subject stimulated by the symposium.
