Keren Rice's talk Can Formal Linguistics Help Language Reclamation? has been made available on our YouTube channel here.
This talk is in the field of language reclamation.
Summary:
"Dr. Rice presents a much-needed look at how formal linguistics and indigenous language reclamation have different goals. While formal linguistics aims to record language variation, indigenous language reclamation is closely tied to efforts surrounding identity, community, and self-governance. Dr. Rice highlights blended efforts with Dene communities and relevant literature on the topic."

Andrew McKenzie's talk Incorporation Beyond the Object: Interpretation and Compositionality in Polysynthesis has been made available on our YouTube channel here.
This talk is in the fields of semantics/morpho-syntax
We will make a brief summary available below:
Summary:
"Dr. McKenzie, drawing largely from the Kiowa language of Oklahoma, proposes that mediating relations account for gaps in the semantics of object and, importantly, non-object incorporation. Structurally, non-object incorporation requires a mediating relation inside the VP, while object incorporation requires a mediating relation above the verb. Dr. McKenzie also draws connections to other complex predicates."
