Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S16E13 - Dominique Branson - Why Language Matters for Justice
Q: Is there anything else you can point to that embodies the concept of pleading your life?
Pre-trial assessments focus more on an individual's life circumstances rather than the details of their case, affecting their outcomes significantly.
S16E13 - Dominique Branson - Why Language Matters for Justice
Q: How does linguistic injustice manifest itself in the criminal justice system specifically in this country?
Linguistic injustice often manifests through racialization of voices, leading to biases in how testimonies are perceived, particularly against African American speakers.
S16E12 - Dan Kaufman - Current Challenges in Urban Language Revitalization
Q: You also gave us a quote from a Lenape teacher that was, we are not revitalizing the language. The language is revitalizing us. Can you expand on that?
The quote signifies how language can foster community identity and connection among individuals who may otherwise feel isolated in a metropolitan environment.
S16E12 - Dan Kaufman - Current Challenges in Urban Language Revitalization
Q: What do cities represent for indigenous communities, and are there differences between countries when it comes to cities?
Cities have become crucial for urban language revitalization for indigenous communities as they serve as centers for migration due to economic and social pressures. Different countries show varied migration patterns and their engagement with language preservation.

Q: What sparked the idea for the Indigenous knowledge sharing event?
