DESCRIPTION:What does it take to alter current processes of language endan
 germent and displacement? What can meaningfully support speech communities
  who experience discrimination and work to revitalize and reclaim their un
 ique ways of communicating? There are multiple possible responses to these
  questions\, ranging from addressing political and economic inequalities\,
  to changing education systems\, shifting monolingual societal paradigms\,
  and documenting languages. This talk will draw on ethnographic research o
 n Isthmus Zapotec (diidxazá) promotion initiatives in Oaxaca\, Mexico (20
 13-2018) in order to examine language activism strategies\, with a focus o
 n the role of multilingualism in language reclamation and endangered langu
 age education. I present a framework of language activism strategies that 
 may be pursued by a wide range of social actors\, from researchers to teac
 hers to rappers. I argue that the dynamics of multilingualism and language
  learning play a crucial role in these activism strategies\, and illustrat
 e where tensions arise between purist versus pluralist language ideologies
 \, and orientations to past versus future speech communities.\nRegistratio
