UN Year of Indigenous Languages Academic Department/Program Survey

Dear Colleague,

As you may know, the UN has declared the year 2019 the official International Year of Indigenous Languages (https://en.unesco.org/IY2019).

The Linguistic Society of America and its Committee on Endangered Languages and their Preservation, in collaboration with the Society for the Study of Indigenous Languages of the Americas, are planning to partner with as many academic departments and programs as possible to engage the community in awareness-raising and celebratory events across the US and around the world.

Please join us in our efforts and forward this survey to any of your colleagues at other departments and programs on your campus. The survey will remain open throughout 2019 so that respondents can add new information about events and activities as it becomes available. A permanent link to the survey is also available on the LSA website.
