Special Session:
The way forward: Drawing from Algonquian epistemologies to talk about
Algonquian languages
Organisé par Wesley Leonard et Marie-Odile Junker

Building on a growing movement to decolonize linguistic science, which has
long had a focus on Indigenous languages but has largely used Eurowestern
terminology and concepts to describe them, the 53rd Conference will feature
sessions on using Algonquian epistemologies to talk about Algonquian
languages. We envision workshops in both English and French to share, create,
and discuss the implications of drawing upon Algonquian cultural norms to do
Algonquian language work, while also examining the applied and theoretical
outcomes of this approach.

We would like the conference participants to address the following questions:
1. What are the existing, preferred, and needed terms to describe and teach
language and grammar in your [the participant’s] language?
2. How can thinking through Algonquian epistemologies about Algonquian
languages advance community language work and science? What else might be
gained from thinking in this way?
3. What other issues do we need to consider for doing this type of work?

To this end, we are planning a lightning round series of pre-recorded
five-minute presentations that introduce specific examples and/or practical
solutions that address the questions above. 

To present in this lightning round, please e-mail the conference organizers,
specifying “lightning round” in the subject of the message, and provide a
title and brief description. We also welcome full papers on this theme, using
the regular abstract submission process. For any additional suggestions on how
to address this theme, please contact the session organizers.
