This year, The University of Georgia Latin American and Caribbean Studies Institute will host the Indigenous Languages and Cultures of Latin America (ILCLA) Symposium.
About the Event
The Third International Symposium on Indigenous Languages and Cultures of Latin America (ILCLA) will bring together indigenous leaders, instructors, scholars, and community activists from around the world for a virtual forum on the indigenous languages and cultures of Latin America and the Caribbean. The Symposium will enable professionals in education, language policy, linguistics, literature, cultural studies, anthropology, and other disciplines to exchange ideas, experiences and research on methodological, theoretical, pedagogical, and practical considerations from an interdisciplinary perspective. Most importantly, this conference will contribute to the teaching, learning, dissemination, preservation, study and advancement of indigenous languages and cultures of the region.
Due to the virtual format, registration for the Symposium is FREE for all presenters and participants!
