NASSLLI is a one-week summer school aimed at graduate students and advanced
undergraduates in Philosophy, Computer Science, Linguistics, Psychology and
related fields, especially students with interdisciplinary interests or whose
research crosses traditional boundaries between these subject areas. The summer
school is loosely modeled on the long-running ESSLLI series in Europe and will
consist of 5 sessions of 90 minute courses each day during the week of June
18-22, followed by a Turing Symposium on June 23 celebrating the first
centenary of Alan Turing's birth, and the 13th Texas Linguistics Society
conference on June 23, 24.

Registration fees: academic discount rate $175; professional rate $400. Student
scholarships will be available for 50 students
(http://nasslli2012.com/scholarships; application deadline: February 29).
Scholarships include registration and may include a further subsidy for travel
and accommodation.
(013)
NASSLLI instructors present both basic and advanced work in their disciplines,
so courses appeal not only to graduate students and exceptionally advanced
undergraduates, but also to post-docs and researchers in related fields. The
summer school provides a unique opportunity for students to learn from
prominent scholars and meet others from the active community of
interdisciplinary philosophy, computer science, linguistics and psychology
researchers in the US and Europe.
(014)
We expect over 200 participants, and in addition to classes in the daytime, the
evenings will have social events and plenary lectures. UT Austin is a large
research university in Austin, Texas which is widely agreed to be one of the
most exciting cities in the US and is the self-styled "Live Music Capital of
the World." We aim to make NASSLLI fun.
