Please share widely
This Thursday, January 23rd, 6:30 pm, we welcome the next two speakers in our Language Diversity Speaker Series:
Drs. Laura Gonzales and Victor del Hierro will be sharing “’Our Languages Need a Place to Land’: Approaching Language Diversity Research Through Community Relationships”

Welcome reception begins at 6:00, talk at 6:30.
Snyder C20, RCAH Theater on the basement level.

D Del Hierro and Gonzales argue that research on language diversity should center relationships between communities, histories, and lands. Through examples of community-driven work conducted with Indigenous language interpreters and translators as well as Hip Hop practitioners, this presentation illustrates how studying language without attention to race, place, and history can perpetuate damage-centered research (Tuck, 2009) that ignores the colonial ideologies embedded in many discussions of multilingualism and globalization.

We acknowledge that MSU occupies the ancestral, traditional, and contemporary Lands of the Anishinaabeg—the Three Fires Confederacy of Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi peoples. The University resides on Land ceded in the 1819 Treaty of Saginaw. We recognize that settler and Indigenous signatories understood the terms of the treaties in starkly different term.
