Episode Synopsis

Come join me as I speak with Professor Carlos Cisneros, former Linguistics professor at Berkeley.  In this podcast, we talk about how his interest in Mesoamerican culture sparked his interest in the study of linguistics. We also discuss  the importance of studying minority languages, and what they teach us about what the human mind is capable of, and how language can reflect upon both universal as well as divergent aspects of our cultures.
