[Lingtyp] Outsourcing fieldwork to indigenous communities

[Françoise Rose]

Hi Cat,

I would like to suggest the following reading.

Mihas, EIena. 2012. Subcontracting native speakers in linguistic fieldwork: a case study of the Ashéninka Perené (Arawak) research community from the Peruvian Amazon. Language Documentation and Conservation 6. 1–21.

Best to you all,
Françoise

Objet : [Lingtyp] Outsourcing fieldwork to indigenous communities

Hello everyone,

I hope you're all doing well. Could you please direct me to resources talking about benefits and drawbacks of outsourcing linguistic fieldwork to indigenous communities (i.e., paying members of indigenous communities to do fieldwork in their own or adjacent communities)? If anyone wants to directly tell me about their experience doing this, that also counts as a resource. Thank you.

Warmest,
