Togetherness

Motto: "Would Gottfried live today, he would not have to feel lonely." 

(Have mercy. Today's results: two questionable forwardings and one awful
reply. But you may foretasted what the newsgroup will be. I'll try to
return to Andrew's questions as soon as possible. Hereby I also thank
him for his not-so-little feat. Which leads me to ask, Andrew: has the
Counterforce Financial Manager taken care of your holiday bonus in good
time, as we strictly obliged him to do in the last board meeting? Heikki)

                              CALL FOR PAPERS 
                AVIATION COMMUNICATION: A MULTI-CULTURAL FORUM
                              1997 ANNUAL SYMPOSIUM
                              APRIL 9 - 11, 1997
                EMBRY-RIDDLE AERONAUTICAL UNIVERSITY, PRESCOTT, AZ
     
     Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University's language institute and the 
     Humanities and Social Science department, with the Center for 
     Aerospace Safety Education invites all interested parties to 
     participate in an aviation communications conference:
     
                 "Aviation Communications: a Multi-Cultural Forum."
     
     This conference is intended to be a vehicle for ideas and information 
     to be exchanged concerning all aspects of communications including 
     linguistics, culture, gender, race, class, and globalization.
   
     It is not required that your research be in aviation.  It is only 
     necessary that your work is transferable to aviation situations in 
     cockpits, between cockpit and tower, maintenance operations, 
     human-machine interface, etc.  Optimal communication is often
     problematic because of gender, racial, cultural, linguistic, 
     economic, political, etc. assumptions hidden behind standard
     procedures. 

     Please note that this conference will be an outstanding opportunity
     for industry, government, and other funding sources to make direct
     contact with researchers.       


                      Some suggested areas:
     
     Human Factors                      Language Studies 
     Barriers to Communications         Communication Studies
