Dear Subscribers:
_Cultural Survival Quarterly_ plans to feature a special
issue on "endangered languages," with a focus
on indigenous concerns and problems, in the Fall
of 2001. As guest editor, I am seeking short (3,000
word and under), user-friendly (general audience)
articles by those of you who have knowledge of the
topic.  Some of the concerns addressed may have to do
with the UN's Declaration on Human Rights and its
language component, literacy campaigns versus protection
of indigenous languages, efforts at language
preservation, and/or programs designed for adults
and children. What are some of the concerns indigenous
peoples face in attempting to preserve their languages?
Can any theoretical project guide our understanding of
this issue, or are the particulars so unique that grand
theorizing on any level would be too broad to work
in any specific sense?
You may reply here, or to: equinn at mit.edu.  I welcome
your abstracts and/or full-length articles.

Warmest regards,
Eileen Moore Quinn, Ph.D.
