Södertörn University (SH) and the Institute for Language and Folklore (Isof) invite you to a conference on perspectives on the revitalization of minority languages. Language revitalization is an increasingly urgent issue in our time, both in the Nordic region and in Europe as well as worldwide. During 2022-2024, SH and Isof both have specific government assignments on the revitalization of the national minority languages.
The conference wants to highlight both experiences and research to enable the problematization of revitalization as a concept, idea and practice. We also want to open a discussion on how activism and research can mutually benefit each other.
Each conference day has a different objective. The first day is devoted to presentations of experiences from different types of current projects for the revitalization of national minority languages. The second and third days focus on current research on language revitalization from broader perspectives.
