Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

As we dive deeper into linguistic comparisons, we also conceive cultural comparisons. The world becomes a bit smaller and more connected as we use language as a tool to learn about and appreciate other cultures. At Barnard, we foster connections through linguistic and cultural comparisons. Students and faculty share how their own language journeys have shaped the way they see the world.
