<p class="gmail-MsoNormalCxSpFirst" style="margin:0in"><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">As Irvine has noted, the work of colonial-era
scholars of language has often “cast a long shadow” (2015, 208) on subsequent
developments in language ideologies and practices in those colonies and
erstwhile colonies. This panel seeks to build upon a body of scholarship that
has examined the development of colonial regimes of language (cf. Cohn 1996; Errington
2008; Fabian 1986; Hanks 2010; Heller & McElhinny 2017; Irvine 1993; Rafael
1993; Trautmann 2006, et al.) by attending to questions of how colonized and
formerly colonized peoples have responded to the various outcomes of these regimes,
including but not limited to the development of “objectifying” forms such as
grammars, dictionaries, schedules, and maps, forms of education, and linguistic
policies, in both colonial and post-colonial periods. How have communities adopted,
or rejected, or alternatively made accommodations with, in part or in whole,
methods and structures of colonial regimes of "scientific"
linguistics? What have been some of the products and effects of these various
responses? How have discourse, method, organization, and policy shifted in
response to these regimes? Finally, how has the “long shadow” cast by colonial
linguistics affected the development of knowledge systems and forms of praxis around
language in the colonial and post-colonial eras?</span></font></p><p class="gmail-MsoNormalCxSpFirst" style="margin:0in"><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><br></span></font></p><p class="gmail-MsoNormalCxSpFirst" style="margin:0in"><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">Best,</span></font></p><p class="gmail-MsoNormalCxSpFirst" style="margin:0in"><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">Puninder Singh</span></font></p><p class="gmail-MsoNormalCxSpFirst" style="margin:0in"><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">University of Michigan<br></span></font></p><p class="gmail-MsoNormalCxSpFirst" style="margin:0in"><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"></span></font></p>
