*Language and Material Knowledge *


The British Museum’s Endangered Material Knowledge Programme (EMKP) and
SOAS’ Endangered Languages Documentation Programme (ELDP) are delighted to
announce a joint call for grant applications. Funded by Arcadia – a
charitable fund of Lisbet Rausing and Peter Baldwin – EMKP and ELDP jointly
offer grants for collaborative projects that combine language and material
knowledge documentation.


This call is in response to the recognition that cultural knowledge of the
made world is encoded in the language of its makers, and that both are
critically threatened by rapidly changing social, political and economic
factors across the globe. This call offers an exciting opportunity for
trans-disciplinary work that integrates the documentation of endangered
material knowledge and its expression in the endangered language of its
speakers, exploring how people understand, learn and make their worlds in
their own terms. The funded projects provide the opportunity to give the
makers a voice, and to preserve their knowledge in the language in which it
was developed.

The application system for grants opens 8 November 2019 and closes 15
January 2020. Find the application guidelines attached.


If you have any questions get in touch with us at ELDP at eldp at soas.ac.uk or
with EMKP at emkp at britishmuseum.org.
