    Page 1 Evangelical Missiological Society National Conference 2020 Abstract Booklet Friday October 9, 2020 10:00-11:15 AM Plenary #1 Room 1 – Emma Wild-Wood (University of Edinburgh) emma.wildwood@ed.ac.uk A History of Evangelicalism in Africa during the 20th century This paper presents a history of evangelicalism in Africa by examining some of the reasons why it has found such fertile soil on the continent and how it developed over 20th century. It also addresses why it is that the evangelical movement has often been overlooked in the historiography of African Christianity except where it adopted a strongly Pentecostal-Charismatic character. The Protestant modern missionary movement was overwhelmingly evangelical in persuasion. The majority of conversionary relations were prompted by early African adopters of Christianity who evangelized their own communities and travelled to neighboring polities with the gospel. In the process of transmission, African Christians made the movement their own, and applied its tenets to their own social-political contexts. By examining some of these contexts in depth we can better understand the influence of evangelicalism as a social movement and why scholarly trends – if not individual scholars – have tended to overlook its importance. The paper will take examples from East Africa, and focus upon the trans-local adaption of a transnational movement over 100 years. Emma Wild-Wood is Senior Lecturer of African Christianity and African Indigenous Religions at the University of Edinburgh and Co-director of the Centre for the Study of World Christianity. Previously she taught at University of Cambridge. She has also taught in D R Congo and Uganda.

Use Shift- Enter to insert a new line in a form field (where allowed) 1. NAMES and IDENTIFICATION a) Preferred name of language for code element denotation: Afghan Sign Language b) Autonym (self-name) for this language: c) Alternate names and spellings of language, and any established abbreviations: Sometimes abbreviated as AFSL in publications, and referred to in sign language as Afghan Sign. d) Reason for preferred name: It seems to be the consensus among users, both hearing and deaf. e) Name of ethnic group or description of people who use this language and approximate population of users, if in use today: The Deaf of Afghanistan, crossing ethnic lines. The main centers are Jalalabad and Kabul right now. In Jalalabad is the only school for the deaf in the country, and the national association for the Deaf has its office in Kabul. Most of the students at the school are ethnic Pushtuns and so would probably consitute the largest number of Deaf Afghans who use AFSL. There would be deaf among all of the ethnic groups of the country, however, and AFSL users among the major ethnic groups, like Pashtuns, Tajiks and possibly Uzbek, Turkmen, Pashai, etc.

  • Sign Language Ideologies: Practices and Politics
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Heriot Watt Pure Annelies Kusters, Mara Green, Erin Moriarty and Kristin Snoddon Sign language ideologies: Practices and politics While much research has taken place on language attitudes and ideologies regarding spoken languages, research that investigates sign language ideol- ogies and names them as such is only just emerging. Actually, earlier work in Deaf Studies and sign language research uncovered the existence and power of language ideologies without explicitly using this term. However, it is only quite recently that scholars have begun to explicitly focus on sign language ideologies, conceptualized as such, as a field of study. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first edited volume to do so. Influenced by our backgrounds in anthropology and applied linguistics, in this volume we bring together research that addresses sign language ideologies in practice. In other words, this book highlights the importance of examining language ideologies as they unfold on the ground, undergirded by the premise that what we think that language can do (ideology) is related to what we do with language (practice).¹ All the chapters address the tangled confluence of sign lan- guage ideologies as they influence, manifest in, and are challenged by commu- nicative practices. Contextual analysis shows that language ideologies are often situation-dependent and indeed often seemingly contradictory, varying across space and moments in time. Therefore, rather than only identifying language ideologies as they appear in metalinguistic discourses, the authors in this book analyse how everyday language practices implicitly or explicitly involve ideas about those practices and the other way around.

    Introduction DEAF-SAME and Difference in International Deaf Spaces and Encounters Annelies Kusters and Michele Friedner ●●● Deaf people from all over the world attended the Paris World Fair in 1900. There, a French deaf leader remarked that deaf people around the world “know no borders.” ●●● Andrew Foster, an African American deaf pastor and educator, estab- lished more than thirty deaf schools in Africa. His methods inspired deaf Nigerians, who applied Foster’s strategies in their voluntary work projects with deaf people in Fiji. ●●● Expatriates and local Cambodians set up deaf tourism agencies in Cam- bodia. Previously, local deaf people acted as guides for foreign visitors informally and without financial compensation. ●●● A deaf American lawyer traveled through Chile and founded a non- governmental organization to support Chilean deaf advocacy efforts by providing legal services and training. ●●● Deaf youth from all over the world who attended the World Federation of the Deaf Youth Section camp in Durban commented on how the camp provided opportunities for learning, networking, and empowerment. ●●● A deaf person from Eritrea traveled to Sweden and was shocked to discover how similar her sign language is to Swedish Sign Language. While the dynamics in each of these encounters between diverse deaf1 peo- ple around the world vary, they all involve deaf people meeting each other in 1 We write deaf with a lowercase “d” because we see deaf as more encompassing, less politi- cized, and less context-dependent than Deaf. As readers will note, the chapter authors have made different choices regarding use of deaf and Deaf. Small World_Introduction.indd 9 24/08/15 3:21 PM x Introduction international spaces.

  • A Lexical Comparison of South African Sign Language and Potential Lexifier Languages
    A lexical comparison of South African Sign Language and potential lexifier languages by Andries van Niekerk Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Masters in General Linguistics at the University of Stellenbosch Supervisors: Dr Kate Huddlestone & Prof Anne Baker Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Department of General Linguistics March, 2020 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za DECLARATION By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Andries van Niekerk March 2020 Copyright © 2020 University of Stellenbosch All rights reserved 1 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za ABSTRACT South Africa’s history of segregation was a large contributing factor for lexical variation in South African Sign Language (SASL) to come about. Foreign sign languages certainly had a presence in the history of deaf education; however, the degree of influence foreign sign languages has on SASL today is what this study has aimed to determine. There have been very limited studies on the presence of loan signs in SASL and none have included extensive variation. This study investigates signs from 20 different schools for the deaf and compares them with signs from six other sign languages and the Paget Gorman Sign System (PGSS). A list of lemmas was created that included the commonly used list of lemmas from Woodward (2003).

  • U.S. Ambassador to China Terry Branstad
    U.S. Ambassador to China Terry Branstad On December 7, 2016, Governor Branstad announced that he had accepted the nomination from President-elect Donald Trump to serve as Ambassador of the United States to the People’s Republic of China. He was confirmed by the Senate on May 22, 2017, and was sworn in on May 24, 2017. Ambassador Terry Branstad was born, raised and educated in Iowa. A native of Leland, Branstad was elected to the Iowa House in 1972, ’74 and ’76, and elected as Iowa’s lieutenant governor in 1978. Branstad was Iowa’s longest-serving governor, from 1983 to 1999. As the state’s chief executive, he weathered some of Iowa’s worst economic turmoil, during the farm crisis of the ‘80s, while helping lead the state’s resurgence to a booming economy in the ‘90s. At the end of his tenure, Iowa enjoyed record employment, an unprecedented $900 million budget surplus, and the enactment of historic government overhauls that led to greater efficiencies in state government. As a result of Governor Branstad’s hands-on, round-the-clock approach to economic development, Iowa’s unemployment rate went from 8.5 percent when he took office to a record low 2.5 percent by the time he left in 1999. Following his four terms as governor, Branstad served as president of Des Moines University (DMU). During his 6-year tenure, he was able to grow the university into a world-class educational facility. Its graduates offer health care in all 50 states and in nearly every Iowa county.
