Date and Time: May 18, 2023, 9:30 AM CT

(view on google maps)

We've all heard that newscasters are trained to speak with a Midwest accent—the so-called "accent from nowhere." In fact, language reflects people, history, and community. It is intimately tied to our immigrant past, a foundation that, surprisingly, is always changing. This talk will examine the ways language has changed in Kansas over the past hundred years through the examination of archival and contemporary oral history. Presented by Mary Kohn.
