<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Trebuchet MS";">Language and identity are inseparable. Changes in writing technology, on the one hand, and in power dynamics, on the other, shape communities and individual identities. This conference
examines two intertwined themes: One, the impact of the production and circulation of texts, over time and place, on practices of writing, reading, and the transmission of knowledge. Two, the way in which power imbalances affect language use, community, and
identity. As writing technologies emerge, decisions are made regarding what knowledge gets preserved and (re)produced or forgotten and lost. Changes in technologies of writing and access to their control have profound effects on cultural survival and social
change.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p>Hello,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Please consider submitting an abstract for this interdisciplinary humanities conference hosted by the Rohatyn Center for Global Affairs to be held March 9-11th at Middlebury College in Vermont. This year's conference is addressed to changing modes of literacy, broadly
conceived--so it would be great to have some linguistic anthropologists in the conversation. </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thanks for considering,</p>
<p>Marybeth</p>
