Hermes, C&I faculty, on MPR’s Daily Circuit to promote Ojibwe Conversational Archives

Mary Hermes, Associate Professor in the Department of Curriculum & Instruction, was recently invited to speak on MPR’s Daily Circuit about her work as lead researcher for the Ojibwe Conversational Archives project, funded by the National Science Foundation through a Documenting Endangered Language Grant. Hermes worked with 30 speakers, transcribers, and others engaged in Ojibwe revitalization to make short videos of native speakers interacting in everyday situations to help language learners find greater occasion to practice the language in their daily lives.
