THE ENDANGERED ALPHABETS PROJECT
We’ve all heard about endangered species. But what about endangered languages? Tim Brookes researches languages on the brink of being completely forgotten, and he’s here to break ‘em down and store ‘em up with his Endangered Alphabets project. Brookes carves and paints near-extinct writing systems from Indonesia, Nigeria, and beyond into wood, and he’s planning a traveling exhibition to preserve these scripts and the fascinating cultures they embody.
The Endangered Alphabets Project needs invites for a Vermont a professor traveling the world to attempt to save endangered languages... Please help.

Welcome to International Professors Project
The International Professors Project is a non-profit global network of professors who have begun working as "Academic Citizens of the World" on university campuses in developing countries around the world.
Our ambassador professors and instructors, including expatriate, full, associate, graduate, and retired, teach, mentor, and conduct local research as they internationalize college and university faculties in their host countries. IPP is an innovation, inspired in large part by current trends towards globalization.
We are:
-
Working to meet the higher education faculty needs around the world
-
Helping less developed countries improve domestic educational opportunities
-
Spreading partly by our dedicated networking diffusion, with each participating university making its own cultural, social, ideological, ecological and technological contributions.
International Professors Project was founded to create and maintain a new institutional pathway towards an appropriate and 'developing-world-sensitive' internationalization of higher education.
