- What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the term “language shift”? What are the circumstances that lead to the extinction of a language, and how can we participate in its protection and survival? The @uni-hamburg.de invites you to the LiDS Lunch Lecture with Dr. Hannah Sarvasy
- Dr. Hannah Sarvasy has been working on research in the most linguistically diverse place on Earth: Papua New Guinea, home to 13% of the world’s languages. This time, she has chosen Hamburg to give an extraordinary lecture about her work with Indigenous communities.
- In my country, Colombia, where more than 60 Indigenous languages are spoken, this topic is still unfortunately largely ignored. I look forward to learning how to change perspectives on meaningful research on endangered languages and how to support them.Jan 19, 2026 16:04
