<p class=MsoNormal>Dear colleagues<br>
<br>
The Hans Rausing Endangered Language Programme at the School of Oriental and
African Studies is holding a one-day international<br>
workshop on Saturday 27 February 2010, 9.30am - 6.00pm. <br>
<br>
The goal of the workshop is to explore the sustainability of endangered
languages, and sustainability of research (in both theory<br>
and practice). The keynote speaker is Lenore Grenoble from the University of
Chicago.<br>
<br>
The call for papers has been extended until the end of January. We would
particularly welcome interdisciplinary papers, so please feel<br>
free to circulate this to colleagues.<br>
<br>
Issues to be discussed could include:<br>
<br>
1. how communities can sustain languages and linguistic ecologies<br>
2. links between language maintenance and sustainable human development<br>
3. preservation of traditional knowledge and indigenous paradigms<br>
of teaching, learning, and research<br>
4. making the outcomes of our research sustainable<br>
5. whether sustaining languages and knowledge is something that<br>
researchers can contribute to, or is solely the responsibility of<br>
communities and speakers<br>
<br>
Abstracts will be peer reviewed and should be a maximum of 300 words (not
including any references) and should be sent to: <a
href="mailto:elap@soas.ac.uk">elap@soas.ac.uk</a>.<br>

The workshop is one of the events for Endangered Languages Week 2010.<br>
