Christi Merrill, Asian Languages and Cultures | 2022-2023
The proposed project builds on the collaborations Dr. Merrill and Dr. Ali have led in ongoing efforts 2021-2023 to continue “Decolonizing the Curriculum in South Asian Languages and Cultures Courses.” In the next phase of this project, collaborators aim to lead efforts to make the resources relied on in multiple languages and cultures classrooms more accessible to students unable to read non-roman writing systems – whether due to a physical disability or lack of training – by developing digital tools (including games) that make the learning and discovery process more fun and engaging at all levels.
