Meeting Description:

In the UN International Year of Indigenous Languages we invite you to join us
in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, September 6th and 7th to explore Intersections of
Language and Nature: Conservation, Documentation, and Access.  
 
The two-day symposium brings together scholars from indigenous communities,
conservation practice, the arts, and academia to address the parallel threats
facing linguistic and biological diversity and explore opportunities for
collaboration.
 
As scholarship on biocultural diversity has demonstrated, interesting
correlations have been observed across linguistic and biological diversity. 
Using ethno-ornithology as a framework, we will investigate the potential for
holistic approaches to conservation and scholarship implicit in these
observations. 
 
We believe opportunity can be found in:

+Greater interdisciplinary and intercultural synergy; 
​
+Global connectivity and citizen science initiatives enabled by current
technology; 
​
+And in decolonization of local knowledge through local-to-global networks,
recognition of a multiplicity of knowledge systems, and improved
accessibility.
 
Integration of local linguistic and cultural knowledge systems with biological
conservation practice is key to political and community engagement efforts,
particularly within a locally managed conservation framework.  Equally,
working together across disciplines in recognition of the interrelatedness of
people, language, and place may lead to better systems of language
documentation and a more nuanced understanding of local knowledge in
conservation practice, as well as provide a global stage by which local
communities can actively engage in dialogue relevant to their cultures and
environments.  

Key Themes:

Conservation
-How are intersections of language and nature relevant to conservation of
species and languages?
​
-How does traditional ecological knowledge contribute to the conservation of
nature and language?
​
-How can we better engage communities as stewards of their local cultures and
environments?

Documentation
-How can we improve our understanding of both global language and species
distribution?
​
-How can technology enhance language and species documentation?
​
-How can we better recognize and collaborate with local knowledge holders?

Access
-How can we make knowledge and resources more widely accessible?
​
-How do we communicate back to the global community that there are locally
meaningful practices of conservation in action and how do we protect that
space?


Call for Papers:

Poster Submissions:

Participants are invited to submit abstracts for poster sessions on any aspect

July 15, 2019.
