Invitations to powerful climate action at MIT Better World (Sustainability)

Previous image Next image “We’re in an emergency, and we need a coordinated effort with all hands and all minds on deck trying to solve this problem.” The urgency in that call to confront climate change, issued by MIT faculty member Asegun Henry SM ’06, PhD ’09, reverberated throughout MIT Better World (Sustainability), a recent virtual gathering of the global MIT community. More than 830 attendees from 57 countries logged on to learn about climate change solutions in development at MIT and to consider how, in the words of Provost Martin A. Schmidt SM ’83, PhD ’88, “Every academic discipline in every corner of our community can contribute to solving this global challenge.” Schmidt, who is the Ray and Maria Stata Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, moderated the main session of the program, which also featured Vice President for Research Maria Zuber and linguistics graduate student Annauk Denise Olin.

Tying together: Indigenous linguists connect people to ancestors through endangered language

Indigenous teachers and linguists are using new methods to revitalize an ancient and endangered language. Mashpee Wampanoag Tribal member Tracy Kelley, a language teacher with the Wôpanâak Language Reclamation Project, has been working alongside others over the last several months teaching tribal households Wôpanâak, the Wampanoag language, via Zoom and other online platforms.  Kelley created a website called Kun8seeh, which means Talk to me,  where tribal households can access different language resources and materials, including information on the Wôpanâak alphabet as well as nouns and phrases.  While the site and other online technologies utilized by the Wôpanâak Language Reclamation Project provide an alternative to in-person learning during the COVID-19 pandemic, they have also sparked an increased interest among tribal households wanting to learn the language.
