ENGHUM2017: Engaged Humanities: preserving and revitalizing endangered languages and cultural heritage


MINIONA -

Warszawa

The Partners of the Engaged Humanities projects (http://engagedhumanities.al.uw.edu.pl/), Faculty of “Artes Liberales” at University of Warsaw, School of Oriental and African Studies SOAS, University of London, and Leiden University, hereby invite proposals for papers at the first international conference on Engaged Humanities.

The Engaged Humanities project aims at strengthening scientific and innovation capacity as well as social impact in the field of participatory action research in linguistic-cultural heritage and revitalization of endangered languages. The assumptions behind the project reflect the need for a holistic and problem-oriented (not disciplinary-limited) approach to both theoretical and applied issues in the study of language, culture, and society. An essential goal also includes finding solutions for bridging collaboration and knowledge-transfer gaps between academics, members of local communities/ethnic minorities and non-academic organizations.

A precedent for the Engaged Humanities project and this conference was the conference Integral Strategies for Language Revitalization held in Wilamowice, Poland in June 2014. The Engaged Humanities conference will be directly preceded by a workshop on digital humanities and efficient integration of disciplinary perspectives/practices for effective engagement. Participants in the conference are also welcome to attend the workshop.

Successful proposals will address one or more of the following topics

  • Multipurpose documentation of linguistic and cultural heritage
  • Language revitalization in theory and practice
  • Participatory action research and community-driven projects
  • Indigenous research methodology and traditional knowledge in language and cultural  revitalization
  • Economic impact of language preservation and multilingualism
  • Language and wellbeing
  • Cognitive effects of multilingualism
  • Language contact in the context of endangerment
  • Language policy for endangered language and cultures
  • Pedagogical approaches to minority languages
