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.

Today, we must broaden our commitment to the developing world’s universities.Your active engagement is needed so that the International Professors Project can greatly enlarge its corps of academic citizens of the world teach-ing, developing university libraries, designing culturally appropriate curricula, and mentoring fledgling professors in several countries. Through this work, IPP is committed to developing and fostering international perspectives, knowledge and understanding.

By showing your support for IPP, you will:

  • Assist in sending current, expatriate, and retired experienced professors to struggling universities around the globe, helping to create and maintain for the long-term a large supply of First World professors on Third World campuses. These men and women fill new academic positions and replace professors lost to the ongoing “brain drain” from the developing world.
  • Help to provide for the needed expertise in academic programs in Third World Universities, by volunteering your time and exerience. IPP will aid in the critically needed design and development of courses in the social and physical sciences and in engineering diciplines.
  • Support the introduction of higher education administrative expertise.
  • Perhaps most significantly, enhance mutual understanding across cultures the world over at a time when the need for cultural knowledge and understanding grows in importance each passing year.


International Professors Project will accept checks from U.S. funds drawn on U.S. banks or donations via credit card online from anywhere in the world through the Network for Good.
