  • 10/12 "Minoritized Languages" Workshop

    Please join the Native American Cultural Programs (NACP) tomorrow, October 12th, from 6:00-7:30 PM for a the "Minoritized Languages of the North Atlantic" workshop on Southern New England Algonquian (SNEA) and Irish (Gaelic), an event being held in the ODI Commons (SU 103) for Indigenous Peoples Week 2023.

    This event is intended to introduce participants to the living and historical languages of Southern New England Algonquian and of Gaelic Ireland.

    In doing so, it celebrates efforts to promote indigenous languages and cultures negatively affected by colonialism and cultural imperialism and highlights efforts by UConn students, faculty, and community partners to decolonize the Anglophone North Atlantic and to teach and promote minoritized languages.

    Presentations on each language will be followed by a discussion on minority languages and how they can be protected and promoted.

    We hope to see you there!
