I am happy to announce that I will be chairing a workshop titled "Marketing and Semiotics" at the 2012 Annual Meeting of the Semiotic Society of America. I will also be presenting a paper titled "Medicalization of the Law; is it all semantics?: The intersection of medicine, the justice system, and criminal defense cases from a Semiotic standpoint."
