Linguistics programs for Mexican and Panamanian nationals

[Anna Luisa Daigneault]

Dear Bryan,

I have a contact named Jorge F. Sarsaneda Del Cid in Panama; he has some
background in linguistics. He has been working on documenting the Ngäbere
language for many years and might have some suggestions for your
colleagues. His contact is:  chigontodobu at gmail.com

As for Mexico, I would recommend seeking opportunities at UNAM, in the
linguistics or anthropology department.

Two linguists who currently work on indigenous languages there are Rosemary
Beam de Azcona, and also Mario Ernesto Chavez Peon.

best wishes,
Anna Luisa
