AFLS
response to the RAE Review
Details of the 2008 post-graduate bursary are now available. The AFLS invites applications for a bursary of £2,000 to an outstanding candidate, registered for a PhD, who already has well under way a programme of doctoral research in French Language Studies. The bursary is intended to help ensure successful completion.
Membership
of AFLS entitles members to seek informal advice on research matters via
the Chair of the Research Committee (at present, vera.regan@ucd.ie), who
will forward queries to colleagues qualified to deal with them.
Alternatively, members may contact directly the author of the appropriate
section of the AFLS Research Guide, available on the web site. (But
please note that thia arrangement must not in any way encroach on the
responsibility of a member's own supervisor or research mentor.)
RESEARCH
COMMITTEE Mission
1. Aim:
To stimulate, focus and encourage the research of members of the
Association in the area of French linguistics and language study. The
research committee has an over arching role.
2.
Functions:
(a)
Encourage research in our area by organising a series of research
seminars.
(b)
Defend research in our area in fora outside AFLS, e.g. by lobbying for
and responding to research initiatives at the levels of both
postgraduates and staff.
c) Publicise
our research e.g. by the production of the Research guide and by keeping
it updated with contributions from experts active in their field of
French language studies and also by liaising with the AFLS committee
member responsible for compiling the Association's research inventory.
d)
Keep a watching brief on sources of funding for French language studies,
with advice to members on how to make successful bids for funding
