Intersections of Language and Nature: Conservation, Documentation, and Access
September 6-8, 2019
University of Pittsburgh 
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

The two-day symposium brings together scholars from indigenous communities, conservation practice, the arts, and academia to address the parallel threats facing linguistic and biological diversity and explore opportunities for collaboration.

As scholarship on biocultural diversity has demonstrated, interesting correlations have been observed across linguistic and biological diversity. Using ethno-ornithology as a framework, participants will investigate the potential for holistic approaches to conservation and scholarship implicit in these observations. 

Participants are invited to submit abstracts for poster sessions on any aspect of the intersections of nature and language. Please submit abstracts by July 15.
