In conjunction with the newest exhibit of the Canadian Language Museum, Elaine Gold (faculty) is giving a talk this week for the Centre for Research on Language and Culture Contact at Glendon College, York University: "Sign languages in Canada's Anglophone, Francophone, and Indigenous communities." This is taking place on Wednesday, February 10, from 12 PM to 1 PM, with Zoom details available here.
The Canadian Language Museum's most recent exhibit, 'Sign Languages of Canada', includes six languages: American Sign Language, Langue des signes québécoise, Maritime Sign Language, Inuit Sign Language, Oneida Sign Language and Prairie Indian Sign Language. Dr. Gold will describe the process of creating the exhibit and what the team learned about the history of sign languages in Canada, the relationships between them, and the work being done to maintain those that are endangered. The presentation will include contemporary and archival videos of the different languages.
