Joshua Schwab-Cartas is a first year PhD student. In his proposed research, Joshua is exploring Indigenous language revitalization strategies through a community project that will develop an intergenerational community of Didxazá speakers. Combining his familiarity with contemporary oral histories of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec in southern Mexico with his background in ancient and colonial Zapotec visual culture, Joshua’s proposed PhD project will use video as an educational tool in the Isthmus Zapotec community of his maternal grandfather, Ranchu Gubiña.
