Subject: Re: [RNLD] Indigenous collaboration in linguistic research or projects

Hi Lesley and all,

I was actually going to mention the volume which that chapter Beth mentioned comes from:

https://trove.nla.gov.au/work/191516811?q&versionId=209102143<https://trove.nla.gov.au/work/191516811?q&versionId=209102143>

As well as this one:

https://openresearch-repository.anu.edu.au/handle/1885/132161<https://openresearch-repository.anu.edu.au/handle/1885/132161>

I have come across some wonderful examples of collaborative and community-led resources, particularly on song language and knowledge. These are just a few that spring to mind:

Antarrengeny Awely: Alyawarr Women’s Songs from Antarrengeny. 2013. Batchelor Press. Recorded by Myfany Turpin with Jenny Green and Richard Moyle. Annotated by Myfany Turpin and Alison Ngamperle Ross. Produced by Margaret Carew. 112

Mer Angenty-warn Alhem: Travelling to Angenty Country. 2015. Batchelor Press. Recorded by Margaret Carew, Jenny Green, and Anna Georgia Stinson. Annotated by April Pengart Campbell, Clarrie Kemarr Long, Jenny Green, and Margaret Carew. Produced by Margaret Carew.

Also this is from ethnomusicology not linguistics but I think worth a reread every now and then!

Hi Lesley,

Here are a few publications from people I've worked with that directly mention collaboration:

Collaborative work often leads to something other than an academic publication, as this is not the outcome that communities are interested in.
Musicologists are really leading the way in how to make publication part of the collaboration.

Cheers,

Ruth

Hi all

not strictly linguistic research, but this paper is an example of a community-based and led language revitalisation project.

This sounds like a very interesting area to explore. There seems to be alot of this kind of research and publication at the moment in the 'GLAM' sector (galleries, libraries, archives and museums) in Australia re: Australian languages. Check out Kirsten Thorpe's publications for some examples.

I worked with the State Library of NSW Indigenous services team (Indigenous archivists and librarians) on a research project to connect in with communities that had Indigenous language material in the State Library of NSW.

Nicholls, S., Booker, L., Thorpe, K., Jackson, M., Girault, C., Briggs, R., & Jones, C. (2016). From principle to practice: Community consultation regarding access to Indigenous language material in archival records at the State Library of New South Wales. Archives and Manuscripts, 44(3), 110-123.

Hi All,

I am looking for papers that have been published in the last 10 years or so that demonstrate, discuss or explore linguistic research or projects that have a strong focus on collaboration or partnership with the Indigenous community or individuals.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards

Lesley Woods
