Senior🎓
Top SchoolMorgan Sleeper is a Watson Fellow and linguist with nine years of experience focused on endangered language revitalization, especially across the Celtic nations, where they study and create music as a practical tool for revival. Combining academic training in linguistics and Māori from the University of Auckland and a BA in Linguistics and Asian Languages from Macalester, Morgan blends field research, community engagement, and songwriting to produce original language-learning songs and support grassroots activism. They travel widely to document how musicians, radio, and festivals reinvigorate minority languages and translate those practices into models applicable to other endangered language communities. Based in Deland, Florida, Morgan brings a rare mix of scholarly rigor and creative practice, demonstrating how art-driven approaches can tangibly boost language transmission.
