Herzberger, Chairperson Dr. James A. Parr Dr. Raymond L. Williams Copyright by Rachel Anna Neff 2013 The Dissertation of Rachel Anna Neff is approved: Committee Chairperson University of California, Riverside Acknowledgements First and foremost, I wish to thank my kind and patient dissertation director, Dr. David K. Herzberger. I stopped counting the number of drafts he read and commented on, because I’m fairly certain the actual number would constitute cruel and unusual punishment. I am so grateful for the time and care he invested in my candidacy; I hope to one day be even half the mentor he has been to me. I would like to thank Dr. James A. Parr for serving on my committee, guiding me through several independent studies to improve my written Spanish, and for leading the amazing study abroad program in Spain where I worked at the Biblioteca Nacional. On a more personal note, I always appreciated how he shared his apple slices with me whenever I stopped by his office. I also wish to thank Dr. Raymond L. Williams for serving on my committee, advising me on independent study projects, and introducing me to Twitter. The topics in his courses were always fascinating, and the discussions inspiring. The end of the seminar dinners at his house are something I wish to do for my mentees in the future.

  • Kichwa-English-Spanish Dictionary
    Kichwa-English-Spanish Dictionary Nina Kinti-Moss Nematni Baltazar Masaquiza Chango 2nd edition Kichwa-English-Spanish Dictionary Nina Kinti-Moss Nematni Baltazar Masaquiza Chango 2nd edition Copyright © 2018 The Authors This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License. Published by the Center for Latin American & Caribbean Studies University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas In a cramped Quito apartment in the late 1990s, the first draft of this dictionary, in Kichwa and Spanish, was written by my brother, Nematni Baltazar Masaquiza Chango. In the fall of 2004, with my beginning Kichwa students at Kansas University, and then with my Kichwa II students in the spring of 2005, we added many words and the English meanings to make it a tri-lingual Kichwa-Spanish-English dictionary. Kichwa is the most widely spoken indigenous language of the Americas. It is spoken today in Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia. There are dialectical differences between regions. Within Ecuador, where I grew up, one finds minor letter changes between regions. In one dialect people might say kanda instead of kanta; jaka instead of q’aqa; ufiana or upina instead of uvyana; maskana, instead of mashkana. Kichwa speakers and students will notice that I have not strictly followed the pronunciation and spelling conventions of Ecuadorian Unified Kichwa, but rather have applied vocabulary and conventions from Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia. Why did I do this? In part, I have taken advantage of a language that is not yet standardized—Ecuadorian Kichwa isn’t—to experiment in using other indigenous’ peoples’ letters. For example, Mayans and Aztec intellectuals have been reclaiming their own languages and using their original codices as guides.

    WORKBOOK MAN CH E S T E R P R I D E 1 C 2 O 0 2 N L F I E R R P E A N 0 C 2 E | Welcome to the third annual Manchester Pride Conference. For a second year we will be bringing the conference via an online platform. Last year, with just a week’s notice we moved our conference online and with more time to plan this year we’re really excited for this opportunity to connect with the various communities of Manchester and have important conversations about the issues facing LGTBQ+ people in Greater Manchester and across the country. Manchester Pride is one of the UK’s leading LGBTQ+ charities. Our vision is a world where LGBTQ+ people are free to live and love without prejudice. We are committed to improving the lives of LGBTQ+ people in Greater Manchester and beyond. We are part of a global Pride movement that celebrates advancements in equality and challenges discrimination faced by LGBTQ+ people. The theme for the Conference 2021 is Beyond the Rainbow: Driving inclusion and equality all year round. 2020 saw a huge number of conversations about equality and inclusion across society and as an organisation it’s vital that we empower LGBTQ+ communities all year round. With that in mind we are committed to achieving this, even in light of the current unpredictable situation we are experiencing. This virtual conference promises to cover a range of important topics that impact LGBTQ+ people every day through an impressive line-up of highly respected speakers and panels to create an engaging and information event.
