Spinning a Better Yarn: decolonising linguistics

The Indigenous Alliance for Linguistic Research, Centre of Excellence for the Dynamics of Language, Sydney Centre for Indigenous Research and the Research Unit for Indigenous Language, formed a study group called ‘Decolonising Linguistics: Spinning a New Yarn’. This study group aimed to discuss topics of relevance to Indigenous communities involved in linguistic research and linguists more broadly, around framing a new ethical model for linguistic research based on a human rights agenda. This group is no longer running. It was organised by Ruth Singer. Lesley Woods, Jaky Troy and Felicity Meakins.
