>   Issues in Nahua Identity and Language: Past and
>   Present
>
>   This interdisciplinary workshop will explore current
>   research on identity and language among
>   Nahuatl-speakers from historical and contemporary
>   perspectives. Scholars will explore a variety of
>   ways of conceptualizing the relation between
>   Nahuatl-speakers and colonial and national Mexican
>   society and institutions. How has religious
>   ideology, schooling, or the creation of written
>   texts mediated the creation of identities? Papers
>   will also explore the challenges of using
>   ethnography or using textual analysis to understand
>   the nature of intercultural relations and of social
>   and linguistic change. To what extent does
>   ethnographic fieldwork or textual sources allow
>   scholars to recognize and conceptualize change in
>   Nahuatl-speaking communities and peoples?
