The second seminar in the Curating Culture Seminar Series presented by Dr. Joseph Farquharson, Senior Lecturer at the Jamaican Language Unit, UWI, Mona.

Abstract
The study of Etymology is concerned with the history and origin of words, but it can also tell us about the history and origin of the people who use the words, how they live, their life, and the direction in which they are heading. This talk looks at the African words in the Jamaican language and discusses how these words chart the history, present and future of the people who use these words.
