Eight sessions, which concluded today. There were a number of excellent presentations. The panelists were largely from the US and Canada, though today was an international panel which covered Mexican, Australian, and Sámi Indigenous issues. All were recorded, and plans are to post most of the other videos at this url. In addition to the recorded panels, publications and further work will be coming out of this important conference.

My browser will not allow me to enter that site, says it may be used for phishing, etc. (Error code: "net::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID", whatever that means.

So I found a workaround: It's all on their YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@msudepartmentofenglish7615
