MultiLing/UiO and UiT (the research group Language and Identity Encounters in the Arctic, Dep. of Language and Culture) are together organising the PhD summer school Revitalisation and reclamation of Indigenous and minoritised languages.
We would like to invite anyone with an interest in the topic to attend the open sessions. Please see the attached programme for more information about the different open sessions.
The summer school focuses on revitalisation and reclamation of Indigenous and minoritised languages from diverse theoretical perspectives. Participants will be presented with central theories and methodologies in the field and explore processes of language revitalisation across social scales, from international to community and individual levels. The role of scholars as advocates or activists in minoritised language settings will also be discussed.
