The research assistants will support the research initiatives under the guidance of research faculty. Research assistants will contribute to a linguistic anthropology research project that will assess the presence of Indigenous languages within the linguistic landscape of Edmonton, primarily in central areas of the city, and also will involve literature review on related topics.

The project may include, but is not limited to:

• Documenting instances of Indigenous language in the linguistic landscape (via photography) and adding them to a database and map
• Tracing any available information on the origins of Indigenous public art and presence of Indigenous languages in public places
• Conducting reviews of urban language revitalization projects and Indigenous linguistic landscape initiatives in other cities

Students will work closely with the primary project manager who is supervising and available for questions on email or via Zoom. There will be weekly meetings to report on findings, ask questions, and troubleshoot.
