Description:
ABOUT COLANG
The Institute on Collaborative Language Research, also known as
CoLang, is a biennial gathering where people from various backgrounds
can learn about language documentation, descriptive linguistics, and
language revitalization from each other. The Institute emphasizes
community-based approaches to language revitalization and
collaboration at all stages of this work—from designing documentation
or teaching projects to activism or archiving materials for future
use. CoLang aims to blur the lines between community and academia,
learners and facilitators, and among areas of specialty. CoLang
welcomes all people interested in community-based, collaborative
language work.
ABOUT COLANG WEB COMMITTEE
The CoLang Web Committee was established in 2020 to develop, manage,
and maintain the permanent digital presence of the CoLang Institute,
independent and inclusive of each local iteration. The Committee is
responsible for the public-facing website www.colanginstitute.org, and
the internal collection and organization of planning materials in the
CoLang Repository. The Committee is responsible to the CoLang Advisory
Council via the Colang Advisory Council’s Web Representative, and also
works closely with Local Organizing Committees to support efforts such
as digital archiving and communications.
FALL 2025 COLANG WEB COMMITTEE INTERN
The CoLang Web Committee is accepting applications for a Fall 2025
Intern to assist with fundraising for operational expenses, and to
help revise and communicate the Web Committee’s protocols for
collecting course materials and consent for their publication for the
upcoming 2026 CoLang. We are seeking applicants with experience and/or
interest in fundraising, open-source digital property, digital
materials access, and familiarity with the field of Indigenous
language reclamation.
COLANG WEB COMMITTEE INTERNSHIP OBJECTIVES
The goal of the internship shall be to develop possible funding
opportunities, and facilitate the intake process for the online
materials repository. Specific duties include:
1. Attend monthly Web Committee Meetings
2. Identify and develop funding opportunities and campaign strategies,
creating materials and executing logistics
3. Collaborate with the 2026 CoLang Local Organizing Committee to
refine and communicate end-to-end protocols for material-archiving and
consent-gathering processes
4. Present repository guidelines to facilitators in an accessible way,
fielding questions and collecting feedback on Colang’s open-source
digital publication interests
5. Collaborate with the Web Committee to improve and support the
material intake process
REPORTING, COMPENSATION, AND CREDIT
This is a fully remote online internship in collaboration with
colleagues in EST, MST, and PST time zones. The intern shall report to
the CoLang Web Committee. The intern shall receive $500 at the end of
the three-month internship period, and is expected to devote at least
33 hours to internship tasks.
The CoLang Web Committee welcomes students interested in taking an
internship for school credit. Please reach out to your department to
see if this is possible. We are only able to accept those legally
authorized to work in the United States at this time. However, we are
happy to work with any interested applicant to support their
authorization process.
