Fellow of the Humanities’ Academy

Dr David Bradley, an Associate Professor in La Trobe University’s Linguistics Program, has been appointed a Fellow of the Australian Academy of the Humanities.

He was elected with 17 other scholars at the Academy’s AGM in late November.

The Academy’s newsletter, Symposium described Dr Bradley as a ‘scholar of remarkably broad interests and achievements.’ He is the only La Trobe staff member who is a Fellow both of the Academy of Humanities and of the Academy of Social Sciences in Australia.

‘A leading international specialist in Tibeto-Burman and Sino-Tibetan languages, his research achievements extend into geolinguistics, lexicography, language policy and language maintenance—especially the maintenance of endangered languages,’ the newsletter said.

Dr Bradley is a member of the editorial boards of six international journals and monograph series, the author, co-author, editor or co-editor of nearly 30 books and five language atlases, and of numerous other publications. He is one of the founding editors of the new Journal of Language Documentation and Heritage.
