World expert to talk in Canberra on revitalising Indigenous languages - all welcome

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Thu, 22/03/2012 - 8:53am

What constitutes "saving a language?" To scholars it may mean making sure it is well-documented. But to the people whose languages are disappearing, a language isn't saved unless people are speaking it again.

A leading American expert in language revitalisation programs around the world, Leanne Hinton, will be giving a talk about that in Canberra on 28 March. All are welcome to attend. Please register your attendance on http://reclaimingindigenouslanguages.eventbrite.com/.

Bring Julian Assange home - national rallies alert

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Tue, 13/03/2012 - 6:21pm

BRING JULIAN ASSANGE HOME!
Stating that a decision on Julian Assange's extradition will likely be issued in the next 6 days, Julian's mother, Christine Assange is calling on Australians to get ready for snap rallies across the country, as the decision should come down between March 6 - 14th 2012. This is close to home. When someone is dragged from the pack, we go back for them. It is expected that the appeal outcome to extradite Julian Assange to Sweden will be announced between March 6 - 14.
