*Second Call for Proposals*

*The International Year of Indigenous Languages 2019: Perspectives**
Conference*

Purdue University Fort Wayne, Indiana

 October 31 – November 2, 2019

https://iyil2019perspectives.org/



The conference will celebrate the United Nations’ *International Year of
Indigenous Languages* <https://en.iyil2019.org/> from a variety of
perspectives including *policy, education, linguistic, community, and
others*. Experts from around the globe have been invited to participate in
panels, present keynote talks, and share their work and experiences in
promoting Indigenous languages. Conference themes will include, but are not
limited to the following:



·         Community achievements and Indigenous languages

   - Community collaborations and partnerships

·         Educational policy for language revitalization and maintenance

·         Indigenous languages in the contemporary world

   - Indigenous voices in popular culture (e.g. social media, fiction,
   poetry, film, hip hop)
   - Indigenous languages and multilingualism
   - Diaspora and Indigenous language learning



While proposals that address these themes are especially encouraged,
proposals on other subjects related to Indigenous languages are also
welcomed.

In the spirit of this celebration, participants will share their
experiences and knowledge and thus bring community voices, policy voices,
and academic voices together.



*Presentation format*: Paper, poster, performance, and technology or other
type of showcase

*Presentation time slots*: Papers and performances will be allowed 30
minutes. Poster presentations will run during a determined time slot, but
posters will be displayed throughout the day of the poster presentation.
Technology or other type of showcases may choose between a presentation
time slot or an exhibit booth.



*Proposal deadline*: March 1, 2019

*Notification of acceptance:* April 1, 2019
