Speaker series and student forum on Indigenous language revitalization at Bryn Mawr College
Bryn Mawr College (Pennsylvania, USA) will host five scholarly talks on Indigenous language revitalization plus a student forum (short presentations, posters, or lessons on coursework and/or thesis research related to Indigenous languages). The goal is to connect students, advocates, and researchers based in Philadelphia and New York who are working to support Indigenous languages and provide a platform to exchange ideas and successes. We aim to promote the visibility and valorization of Indigenous people, cultures, languages, and knowledge on our college campuses.
