Native American Languages in Crisis:
Exploring the Interface between Academia, Technology and Smaller Native Language Communities
This conference will provide a special, though not exclusive, emphasis on smaller Native language communities as it brings together a wide range of scholars and community language activists for analysis and open discussion of the impacts and trade-offs related to technology and academia in Native language revitalization work.
Conference presentations will be built on prepared papers and lead to roundtable discussions, engaging both presenters and audience.
Papers and proceedings of the conference are to be published in order to help clarify how the digital resources from technology and the intellectual resources from academia can help revitalize Native languages.
Classroom 2, Penn Museum
