Language connects cultural and biological diversity and can contribute to both big data and localised approaches to improve conservation. Analysing Indigenous languages at regional level supports understanding of local ecologies and cultural revitalisation. Collated linguistic datasets can help to identify large-scale patterns, including extinctions, and forge robust multidisciplinary approaches to biocultural decision-making.
All welcome, students and staff. Please circulate to anyone further who may be interested, and contact me (fiona.jordan@bristol.ac.uk) with any queries. The room has step-free access.
