CLWB Featured Speaker: Maria Del Carmen Rodriguez de France on Language and Values Maria Del Carmen Rodriguez de France offers two featured sessions for CLWB attendees. The first â€” entitled Shifting Perspectives: Unlearning and Reframing â€” focuses on the importance of paying attention to the values, beliefs, and messages we convey through our language. Participants will have a chance to reflect on naturalizing Indigenous knowledge within our work. The second session â€” My Mother Used to Say… (How Proverbs Inform Our Worldview) â€” ponders how specific ways of knowing are reflected in proverbs, refrains, and other popular sayings. Participants will explore the values, morals, and teachings of various expressions to gain cultural insight.
