Saturday 30 June 2012<br>
Location: CRASSH, 7 West Road, Cambridge</p><p>A two-day collaborative workshop bringing together
scholars, digital archivists and international
organisations to share experiences of mapping
ethno-linguistic diversity using interactive digital
technologies. This practical workshop brings
university-based researchers in anthropology, geography
and linguistics into conversation with representatives
from international agencies and organisations that
aggregate and disseminate large holdings of ethnographic
and linguistic data. Through brief presentations and
extended discussions, participants will explore innovative
ways of visualising cultural and linguistic diversity and
share appropriate techniques and tools for representing
endangerment, both cartographically and geospatially. For

<span class="newsletter-section">Friday 6 July 2012<br>
Location: CRASSH, 7 West Road, Cambridge</span><br>
</p><p>A conference convened by Mari Jones (French) and
Christopher Connolly (Linguistics) with the support of
CRASSH.</p>
</span> <strong><img alt="" align="left" height="283" hspace="10" vspace="10" width="200" id="08327eb2-a227-4410-b281-53c839c04eca" apple-width="yes" apple-height="yes" src="cid:part7.01080905.08080603@cam.ac.uk"></strong>
At a time when UNESCO deems 43% of the world's 6,000
languages at risk of extinction, the imperative to record
and analyse these linguistic varieties while they are still
spoken has scarcely been greater. Yet researchers have
ostensibly been slow to avail themselves of the
opportunities offered by new techologies, from visual and
aural archiving, to digitisation of textual resources and
electronic mapping, techniques which could have the
potential to play an integral role in reversing language
shift. However, it is clear that with these new technologies
come new challenges for the linguist. The Second Cambridge
Language Endangerment Conference invites researchers to
bring forward their ideas for tackling these issues: to
share experiences from the field, to consider how these new
resources might best be applied, as well as the problems
that they can bring, to reassess more traditional techniques
in light of new technologies and to work with a view towards
achieving a practicable synthesis of old and new
methodologies. At this critical time, our Conference seeks
to ignite the debate as to what, if indeed anything, new
technologies have to offer the fields of documentation,
revitalization and maintenance, and how the research
community might seek to enhance the functionality of these
resources in order to advance their application beyond mere
superficies.
