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.

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.

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.
