The Language Project Podcast
Come and take a listen to all the ways that language impacts our society! In this podcast we'll explore various topics related to language - everything from how it defines us as humans, how it manifests itself in our technology and our media and arts and impacts the way we think, and how its automation makes our lives easier but also brings its own set of ethical challenges. I'll be joined by many special guests whose own lives have been notably impacted by language, as well as experts in the field of linguistics.

Episode 19
Come join me as I speak with Professor Carlos Cisneros, former Linguistics professor at Berkeley. In this podcast, we talk about how his interest in Mesoamerican culture sparked his interest in the study of linguistics. We also discuss the importance of studying minority languages, and what they teach us about what the human mind is capable of, and how language can reflect upon both universal as well as divergent aspects of our cultures.
