Humanities Council to present lecture series with Chamorrica scholars

Posted on Sep 12 2011

The general public is invited to a presentation by Prof. Dr. Thomas Stolz and Barbara Dewein, who will share information related to the Chamorrica project.

The lecture will take place on Saturday, Sept. 17, at 10am at the American Memorial Park Visitors Center Theatre.

Chamorrica aims to translate, re-edit, and annotate various documents on the Chamorro language that were produced between 1668 and 1950.

Members of the community will have an opportunity to ask questions about the project and to share with the visiting scholars concerns related to Chamorro language planning and revitalization.

From the Universitat Bremen in Germany, Stoltz and Dewein are also meeting with local researchers and scholars involved in efforts to study and preserve the Chamorro language.

Admission is free and open to the public.
