CoLang 2020: Institute on Collaborative Language Research
University of Montana
June 15-26, CoLang Workshops

CoLang is an international institute for language activists, teachers, linguists, and students from language communities and academia to obtain hands-on skills in language documentation and revitalization as practiced in collaborative contexts as well as in technology and basic linguistics in community-based research contexts. The institute creates multi-dimensional networks among community language workers, teachers, researchers, and students. 

CoLang organizers are seeking workshop proposals for topics related to language documentation, maintenance, and revitalization for the seventh Institute on Collaborative Language Research (CoLang) in 2020. 

Note that CoLang 2020 uses the term ‘facilitators’ instead of ‘instructors,’ as this better describes the role of the staff and the nature of CoLang workshops. CoLang 2020 aims to offer workshops facilitated by teams of Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars/activists. The organizers are especially interested in finding facilitators who will work as a team including at least one Indigenous scholar/activist. They encourage those who have participated in previous CoLangs, have participated in the Natives4Linguistics workshop, are practicing community-based research, and/or have participated in the American Indian Language Development Institute (AILDI) https://aildi.arizona.edu/— or similar Indigenous language training Institutes — to serve as facilitators or workshop organizers.

The organizers are also interested in workshops designed to have a large component of hands-on activities that will provide immediate assistance to community members and students in their work after the institute, so that they have something useful to take back to their home communities.

Deadline for receipt of proposals: May 31, 2019
