SUMMARY:Language and Migration: Experience and Memory
DESCRIPTION:Language is a vital\, but under-explored\, factor in the lives of migrants\, immigrants and refugees. It has a direct impact on the experiences and choices of individuals displaced by war\, terror\, or natural disasters and the decisions made by agents who provide (or fail to provide) relief\, services\, and status. Distilled through memory\, it shapes the fictions\, poems\, memoirs\, films and song lyrics in which migrants render loss and displacement\, integration and discovery\, the translation of history and culture\, and the trials of identity. \nThis interdisciplinary symposium will convene humanists and social scientists\, field-workers and policy-makers\, artists and writers\, to think together about migrants as resourceful users\, interpreters\, and creators of language. \nThe symposium will take place online between Monday\, April 19 and Saturday May 1\, 2021. Amid the disappointment of not being able to hold the symposium in person\, we’ve managed to find two advantages to the virtual format: to enable participation by those without the means or time to attend\, and to achieve a more satisfying exchange among humanists\, social scientists\, and people who work in the fields of education\, language policy and language justice. We encourage you to attend as many sessions of the symposium as you can\, which are spread out over two weeks to avoid zoom fatigue. \nSpecial events: Our symposium will feature two keynote speakers: Prof. Sarah Dryden-Peterson of the Harvard Graduate School of Education\, who will open our symposium with a lecture on Monday April 19; and Prof. Viet Thanh Nguyen\, Aerol Arnold Professor of English\, University of Southern California\, and winner of the Pulitzer Prize for The Sympathizer\, who will give the closing lecture on Saturday May 1. On Friday evening\, April 30\, we are delighted to host a reading by Jhumpa Lahiri\, Yiyun Li and Aleksandar Hemon\, three distinguished members of Princeton’s Creative Writing faculty. \nAccess the full detailed program here: https://migration.princeton.edu/symposium/program \nLearn more here: https://princeton.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_GNf33xbFR1O9wdsn38Hk6Q \n________________________________________________________________________________________ \nCoNGO Notes: For more information on the NGO Committee on Migration\, please visit ngo-migration.org.
