  "textContent": "lingthusiasm:\n\n> What do you do when the only records that remain of a language were made by someone who had absolutely horrendous views of the people who spoke it?\n>\n> In this episode, your host Lauren Gawne gets enthusiastic about a crossover episode with Claire Aubin of This Guy Sucked! Lauren’s Guy who Sucked is Daisy Bates, who did a lot of early 20th century work documenting over 100 Indigenous languages in western and southern Australia, while also directly adding to policies and narratives that continue to harm Aboriginal Australians to this day. We talk about Lauren’s history with the original archive, how much has changed since Daisy Bates’s day, and where linguistics (and society) still has room to improve.\n>\n> _Please note that this episode includes reference to deceased Aboriginal Australians, as well as reference to attitudes and actions that are harmful to the self-determination of Aboriginal Australians._\n>\n> Click here for a link to this episode in your podcast player of choice or read the transcript here.\n>\n> **Announcements:**\n>\n> In this month’s bonus episode we get enthusiastic about the second half of our interview with Kory Stamper about her book on defining colour words, and this half contains spoilers!! We talk with Kory about how she learned about Margaret Godlove and many other women whose labour has been forgotten in early colour science and dictionary making.\n>\n> Join us on Patreon now to get access to this and 100+ other bonus episodes.
