An introductory video from our 2024 conference
Brilliant Nahuatl session led by our visiting fellow Albert Davletshin, where we did some our own deciphering, learnt a huge amount about the script and had a lot of fun - plus I can write my name now! (I like the red version better) Earlier this month we hosted a #scriptkeepersnetwork talk by Muhammad Noor about the displaced Rohingya people, and his impressive efforts to develop educational resources for younger generations growing up in a refugee camp - with a beautiful carving in the Hanifi script presented by co-host @endangeredalphas Mini research meeting yesterday where we talked about terminology and gender in writing (as well as deciding writing is a bad word for writing), followed by an outing to the Ullendorff lecture, given this year by the lovely Michael Macdonald - and then dinner at Trinity, and a lightning show with bonus @magdalene foxes on the way home. Such a pleasure and privilege to play @endangeredalphas Ulus: Legend of the Nomads board game 🤩🙏 Struck by this group of carved graffiti on a wall on Silver Street in Cambridge, which I must have walked past a thousand times but only noticed when I was walking along there with @lepuwana recently. Join me @alice_seshat @lepuwana and Helen Magowan on Thursday 30th April, 19.00-21.00 BST, for a discussion of Writing As Rhythm with the Rhythmicity series of Cambridge LASER talks. We will be reprising topics that featured in the panel discussion at the start of our recent Jamigraphy event. We are delighted to announce our programme of seminars for the coming term. Visit our #linktreeinbio👈🏻 for a link to details and zoom registration. The last day of our conference, WAVE 2: Writing As Visual Engagement, takes place tomorrow, Saturday 11th April, 10.50-16.15 BST (UTC+1). Join us for a feast of writing-related wonders! Our recent conference WAVE 2: Writing As Visual Engagement was wonderful in so many ways, one of which was that it involved many people practising writing in diverse scripts from around the world - on badges and notebooks and especially on the walls! Thank you @alice_seshat for the inspiration 🤩 - and to everyone who contributed information sheets and taught people how to write their names in their scripts.

Another thing new followers may not realise is that we run the Endangered Writing Network, which aims to bring people from varied backgrounds together to tackle problems of language and writing endangerment. So we are interested... 1/3viewsproject.wordpress.com/endangered-w...
