Public Plenary Talks During CoLang2020: Language Reclamation and Beyond

After careful consideration and due to the rapidly changing situation with COVID-19 in the United States and around the world, CoLang 2020 has been cancelled. 

The Institute on Collaborative Language Research in 2020 (CoLang 2020) will be hosted by the University of Montana in collaboration with Chief Dull Knife College.

During the the two-week sessions a series of public plenary language events will be following lunch. The stories from the plenaries will inspire and encourage many communities in terms of literacy in both English and the language of the communities, language reclamation activities, and discussion in language and well-being and health care. A special effort was made to reach out to all Indigenous groups in Montana to support their language revitalization efforts and bring awareness to language endangerment.

CoLang is an international institute for language activists, teachers, linguists and students from language communities and academia to obtain hands-on skills in language documentation and revitalization as practiced in collaborative contexts as well as in technology and basic linguistics in community-based research contexts. The Institute creates multi-dimensional networks among community language workers, teachers, researchers, and students.

The event is finished.
