Description | The 8th annual Ladino Day at the University of Washington will explore the intersection of Ladino and technology over the last century, and how revolutions in print and on the web have impacted the language over time. We’ll begin with a multimedia talk by Dr. Devin E. Naar on the history of the Ladino press in the Ottoman Empire and the United States. Dr. Naar will then host virtual conversations with Rachel Amado Bortnick, founder of Ladinokomunita, and Dr. Carlos Yebra López, creator of the Ladino module on uTalk, a language learning app. The program will include a demo of uTalk Ladino led by Dr. López. Throughout the virtual event, audience members can submit questions to be answered by all speakers during a Q&A session at the end of the program. |
