Subject: Call for Proposals Minoritized Languages of Europe

Sustaining Minority Languages of Europe (SMiLE) is an interdisciplinary
research program of the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage
that seeks to examine the endangered language revitalization initiatives in
minoritized language communities in Europe.  SMiLE invites proposals for
community-situated ethnographic and sociolinguistic research around a series
of questions addressing factors that contribute to the vitality of minoritized
language communities. SMiLE is particularly interested in creating comparable
case studies that 1) reveal the trajectory of a community’s language
revitalization program(s) and efforts at various stages of their life cycles;
2) analyze how language revitalization and maintenance programs respond to
internal and external social, economic, and political factors; and 3) explore
relationships among language revitalization, cultural heritage, and
traditional cultural transmission—areas of particular interest to CFCH.

SMiLE will fund six teams of two or more academic researchers, community-based
scholars, language advocates, policy experts, and others. Support is available
for various combinations of fieldwork, consultation, project-related travel,
and archival research for periods up to 18 months. Each research team will be
eligible for awards up to $120,800 USD. Grantees are expected to present their
works-in-progress at three workshops sponsored by the Smithsonian Institution
and collaborate with other grantees and SMiLE advisors to synthesize findings.

The full Program Announcement and award Information is available at
www.folklife.si.edu/smile. The submission deadline is September 1, 2017.
