<div class="">Dear Colleagues, Students, and Friends,</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
Out of a wish to celebrate and make audible as well as visible the
many, many languages we speak, you are invited to participate in a
<b class="">multi-lingual “speak out” at the EMU amphitheater, Nov. 29,
11:00-3:00</b>. (We’ll move indoors if we have to, but there
will be a tent against rain.)
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Come say a few words in a language that’s meaningful
to you—one you’re studying, one you learned at home, one that
belongs to your family’s heritage, one you use in research. It
might take the form of a testimonial (“what studying French has
meant to me”), or the reading of a poem or a short passage of
prose. A person might simply introduce herself as a speaker of
Arabic or Swedish or Swahili. Some people might want to sing a
song, chant nursery rhymes, or recite a soliloquy from a classic
play. All languages are welcome (ASL emphatically included). </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">This gathering responds to reports of community
members who have recently felt uncomfortable speaking languages
other than English in public, and it builds on the important,
ongoing work of Claudia Holguín Mendoza and the rest of the
faculty and students in the Spanish Heritage Language program,
whose organization of events such as National Spanglish Day
(also celebrated in the EMU amphitheater) continually highlight
the ways in which living bilingually may be liberating, but can
also be sharply constrained. The current atmosphere feels more
charged to many, but the challenges of speaking Spanish in
public are not new.</div>
<div class="">
<div class="">
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><b class="">This will be an open-mic, drop-in
event, but if you know you'd like to speak, please stop by
the Romance Languages department office in 102 Friendly;
we’ll have a sign-up sheet available. You can also sign up
at the event.</b></div>
<div class=""><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p class=""></o:p></p>
<div class="">I hope you’ll want to join in, invite your
students and friends, and help to spread the word. Please
forward this invitation widely, and join us on Nov. 29 for
as much or as little of the event as you can.</div><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p class=""></o:p></p>
