Featuring: Kọ́lá Túbọ̀sún

Title: For Whom the Language Bells Toll: African Languages & Technology

A linguist, independent academic researchers, and writer, with over a decade of fieldwork in African studies, literature, and technology.

Kọ́lá Túbọ̀sún will address the work he has done in the space of language, revitalization, language technology, as well as the challenges that remain through social media, AI, language attitudes, and literature – especially African literature, where the question of what language to write in remains a subject of regular conversation, and sometimes incoherent postulations.

Wednesday, March 12th 4:10 – 6:00 PM | Knox Hall, Room 208
