The participants included Patricia Cukor-Avila, Frans Gregersen, John Rickford, Malcah Yaeger-Dror and many others. Topics ranged from appropriate statistical and acoustic methods, to the changing interviewer-participant relationship, to making use of unexpected sources of data. The contributions to the session will appear in an edited volume to be published by Routledge Ltd, along with other specially commissioned chapters -- one of them from MSU Anthropology professor Chantal Tetreault.
