Biography
Mandana Seyfeddinipur was educated at the Freie Universitaet, Berlin, Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in Nijmegen and at Stanford University. At SOAS she directs the Endangered Languages Documentation Programme, which provides around £1,000 000 annually for the documentation of endangered languages across the globe since 2010. Since 2014 she is also directing ELAR, the Endangered Languages Archive.
She teaches courses and classes on the visual mode of language, the use of video in language documentation and fieldwork, ELAN annotation, psychology of language, and language use. Her main research interests are language documentation, cultural and linguistic diversity in language use, video in language documentation, and multimodality with a focus on gesture, visual mode of language, pragmatics, psycholinguistics, and language production.
