18th Stabilizing Indigenous Languages Symposium
The Indigenous Language Institute is proud to announce that it is Co-Sponser of the 18th Stabilizing Indigenous Languages Symposium to be held at the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, New Mexico, May 20-22, 2011.
Language and Community: Building Collaboration in Revitalization Work
The Indigenous Language Institute invites you to submit a proposal that will fit in one of four venues: paper presentations, workshops, poster sessions, panel sessions, and videos. The symposium committee will select proposals that focus on language documentation, revitalization, maintenance, methodology, research, practices, and teaching which address and/or incorporate the theme of this year's conference: Language and Community: Building Collaboration in Revitalization Work.
Of special interest are presentations that inform and educate Symposium participants on the best practices in language revitalization/maintenance (rather than presentations which primarily promote a specific company, product, service, or solution).
Paper presentations will be 45 minutes long (30 minute papers with 15 minutes for questions). Workshops will be in 90 minute sessions and panels in 60 minute blocks.
Important Dates
Complete proposals must be received no later than April 8, 2010 by 5:00 pm MST.
The committee will contact you on or before April 15, 2011 to let you know if your proposal has been selected for presentation at the Symposium. All decisions are final.
Symposium proposals should include the following:
Name of the person(s) who will be part of the session
Affiliation (tribe, nation, organization, etc.)
Title and description of the session - up to 500 words
Audio, visual, computer needs - *please note, we may not be able to provide laptop computers
