From PFW to the United Nations: Endangered Languages, Advocacy, and Global Impact

In this episode of Science Spotlight, we welcome Dr. Shannon Bischoff and Dr. Mary Encabo Bischoff for a conversation that connects local classrooms to global advocacy. Dr. Mary Encabo Bischoff shares how her background in international educational development led her to direct the Tunnel Program (Teaching English as a New Language), supporting multilingual learners and preparing future English language educators. Dr. Shannon Bischoff discusses his work in mathematical, computational, and linguistic anthropology, focusing on Indigenous and lesser-studied languages. His research and advocacy led to partnerships with the United Nations and UNESCO, including Purdue University Fort Wayne serving as a sponsor during the 2019 International Year of Indigenous Languages. The episode explores how scholarship, human rights advocacy, refugee community engagement, and international collaboration intersect. From hosting global leaders and Indigenous delegates on campus to connecting Southeast Asian communities with local students, this conversation highlights how academic research can extend far beyond the classroom.
