Later this week I’ll be at the 19th Himalayan Languages Symposium at ANU in Canberra. I always enjoy going to conferences full of people who work with languages that are closely related to those I am familiar with, as we often face similar issues and complexities. I’ll be sharing some of my PhD work, and I’m looking forward to meeting many people and putting faces to names! I thought I’d use it as an opportunity for some gratuitous fieldwork photographs!
