Dr. Dupris&nbsp;received his PhD in Linguistics and Anthropology from the ³Ô¹ÏÍø of Arizona in 2020. Dr. Dupris's work&nbsp;addresses issues around tribal language research, with&nbsp;a focus on&nbsp;analyzing language, race, and nation and sustaining the integrity of tribal polities. In the words of his PhD advisor, Dr. Ofelia Zepeda, "[Dr. Dupris's]&nbsp;research calls for language researchers to respect existing obligations to tribal peoples; compare national and racial contexts to better understand the role of language research in establishing and reproducing overarching (Indian, Indigenous) categories; consider the implications of racial and political recognition in tribal contexts; and offer an approach for tribalizing language research in an era of revitalization, and reclamation".&nbsp;It is anticipated that Dr. Dupris's CU appointment&nbsp;willl lead to a permanent position within the initial appointment period. Dr. Dupris is&nbsp;enrolled in the Klamath Tribes (the Klamath, Modoc, and Yahooskin tribes of&nbsp;southern Oregon and northern California),&nbsp;and is of Modoc, Klamath, Paiute and Lakota descent. Dr.&nbsp;Dupris was introduced to maqlaqsyals as a child attending tribal culture camps. His interest in language was reignited in 2013 when he returned to Chiloquin and participated in adult maqlaqsyals language classes after graduating from the ³Ô¹ÏÍø of Washington with a degree in American Indian Studies. Since then, Dr.&nbsp;Dupris has developed teaching methods and workshop series&nbsp;to help youth learn — and adults re-embrace — a language that has long been suppressed. For over a century, beginning in the 1860s, Klamath tribal&nbsp;youth were separated from their families and sent to boarding schools from Pennsylvania to Nevada, where they were punished for speaking their language. These efforts helped to extinguish&nbsp;fluency in the language.&nbsp;Joe is using new methods to expand daily use of maqlaqsyals, from&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCN3s8NCYUC06LHZlwXnikLg" rel="nofollow">YouTube videos</a>&nbsp;to remote teaching to an independennt study course&nbsp;at Chiloquin High School, which&nbsp;allows students from the approximately 50 percent Tribal student body to access their ancestral language. Dr. Dupris will teach ETHN 1023: Introduction to Native American and Indigenous Studies, in Fall 2021.&nbsp;</p> <p></p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <h2> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--ucb-related-articles-block paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div>Off</div> </div> </h2> <div>Traditional</div> <div>0</div> <div>On</div> <div>White</div> Thu, 23 Sep 2021 18:42:17 +0000 Anonymous 1089 at /ethnicstudies
