Subject: Transdisciplinary Dialogues Series: Endangered Tribal Languages in India

 
The Laudato Sí Research Institute (LSRI), Campion Hall, University of Oxford,
and the North Eastern Institute of Language and Culture (NEILAC), Guwahati,
Assam, India, are hosting a seminar series to bring into dialogue academics
from the University of Oxford and India to explore the multi-faceted issues of
endangered languages.

The endangerment of tribal languages is a salient issue, with some linguists
estimating that between 50% and 90% of current spoken language systems will be
severely endangered or extinct by the year 2100. But as well as intrinsic
loss, endangered languages often provide an index for wider issues of
cultural, political and economic marginalization of some of the world’s most
vulnerable populations. This four-part seminar series takes a
transdisciplinary approach to inspired by principles of integral ecology,
aiming to contribute to deeper analysis of this important contemporary
frontier issue.
