Temkin Martinez sits on language and culture panel

Michal Temkin Martinez at the Global and Area Perspectives Symposium

Michal Temkin Martinez, Professor and Chair of Linguistics, participated in the Global and Area Perspectives Symposium hosted by Indiana University's Hamilton Lugar School of Global and International Studies in Bloomington, Indiana. The theme for this year's symposium was migration, and Temkin Martinez participated in a panel titled "Empowering Displaced Communities through Language and Culture."

The closing panel provided an opportunity for faculty from the arts and linguistics to examine ways that universities, local governments and civil society institutions are contributing to language and culture conservation work within resettled refugee communities. Temkin Martinez helped introduce symposium participants to the US context for refugee resettlement, and shared community collaborative projects that members of the linguistics department at Boise State University have participated in.
