ICSNL Conference (2023)

conference

In July 2023, several members of our lab attended the 58th International Conference on Salish and Neighbouring Languages (ICSNL).  The conference was hosted by Snuneymuxw First Nation, Simon Fraser University, and the Hul’q’umi’num’ Language & Culture Society.  Attendees also got the chance to have an in-person visit with some of the speakers we work with, C̓úʔsinek Marty Aspinall, and Kʷaɬtəzétkʷu Bernice Garcia, and our collaborator Mandy Jimmie.

To check out all the research the lab showcased at the conference, check out the Publications section of our website.  Thanks to all the organizers for a great conference!

Spring 2023 Field Methods Poster Session

outreach

In LING 531 and LING 532, the students spent eight months learning about linguistic field methods from Lisa Matthewson, with a focus on Nɬeʔkepmxcín.  We were so fortunate to work with three speakers: Bev Phillips, C̓úʔsinek Marty Aspinall, and Kʷaɬtəzétkʷu Bernice Garcia.  In April 2023, to celebrate our progress thus far, we held a poster session attended by students and faculty from our department.  Thanks to everyone who came out!
