grad programs in documentation

[Phil Albers]

Interesting topic! However what may the options be for one who cannot really leave their homelands, or have children that aren't really able to relocate? I have great interest and dedication to indigenous language revitalization with an emphasis with family home life use. Which is partly why I'm unable to actually pack up and leave to attain any significant "western" credentials or furthering education.

Are there any options for someone such as me? (I also know of many in similar situations). Just a thought.

yôotva,

He’s interested in language documentation, and especially applications of documentary materials for teaching.  I know we’ve talked before about how some of us (well, me at least!) feel like training in those applied areas is really lacking.  I’m writing to ask what you would recommend as programs that would be good for a student interested in this.  The University of Hawaii is an obvious one for documentation, of course.  But where else?
