Cornell Conference on Language and Poverty
The Cornell Conference on Language and Poverty will have two central objectives: (1) to highlight the complex interconnections of language and poverty for a general audience, and (2) to promote exchange at both theoretical and practical levels among linguists and scholars of language (including those still being trained in graduate programs) and others (especially those active in community-based programs) on work with endangered languages in impoverished communities.
We would like to thank the Poverty, Inequality and Development Initiative at Cornell and the National Science Foundation for their support.
