Dr. MJ Hardman
Ph. D. Stanford 1962
My career, now lasting more than 50 years, had had two paths from the beginning that
have been one at some, separating at times, and crossing each other always – my
linguistics work as a specialist in the Jaqi languages of the Andes and gender studies, part
of my forever focus on racism/sexism.
I have decided to make this a woman's vita – with events included that are ordinarily
omitted. This is likely to be the last version I will ever do. That it be for the Wise
Women's webpage is entirely appropriate. I am doing it in a way that I hope will be
useful to younger people both as current support and as a history lesson lest they forget
what we have wrought.
The original vita is 50 pages; much condensed for current purposes. And I've opted not
to translate the Spanish.
Over the course of my career, starting in the late 50s, I have spent some 20 years in the
field, primarily Perú, Bolivia, Chile. My professional travel has also taken me to most of
the countries of Central/South America, to Japan, to Thailand, to England and to Spain.
Also my fieldwork has encompassed Southwest Spanish (Taos, New Mexico), Shipibo
(Peruvian jungle), Quechua (Urubamba valley) as well as the intensive work with the
three Jaqi languages, Jaqaru, Kawki and Aymara in Perú, Bolivia and Chile. My work
with the latter in foundational: I established the existence of the family and my Aymara
grammar is the first in 500 years to be more than a copy of the colonial grammars of the
Jesuits (Bertonio).
Pre-Florida years:
During this period I gave 5 papers at national and international conferences, starting in 1959.

1962 – married Dr. Dimas Bautista Iturrizaga, veterinarian, from Tupe, Yauyos, Perú,
then learned that immigration did not consider him a relative; only wives of American
citizens were so considered. It led to many years of long-distance marriage though the
law did eventually change.
1963 TRAINER OF PEACE CORPS VOLUNTEERS FOR PERU, University of California at
Los Angeles: QUECHUA, AREA STUDIES
March 1963 our first son was born; following the Tupe example that had taught me that a
woman could have her work and a family as well, he was born on Tuesday and Thursday,
with him on my back, I was back in the classroom, and Saturday, with him on my back, I
went dancing.
July 1963 at my own expense I went to Bolivia to attempt to see how Aymara fit into the
Andean languages in terms of language families. My mother-in-law helped to finance the
expedition. I carried my baby on my back. When I got off the bus in Sorata an Aymara
woman approached me to criticize the gingo blanket I was using to carry. Within 24
hours I had a proper awayu (in which all my children were later carried) and was living
with an Aymara family. I thus discovered that Aymara and Jaqaru are sister languages.

This was the first full-length grammar of any Andean language published in
English! 500 years after the first colonial grammar in Spanish.
July 1967 Our daughter was born. I had to return to the US for her to have an
option of US citizenship because children of women did not so have (children of
male US citizens did so have no matter where they were born).
1968 VISITING PROFESSOR OF ANTHROPOLOGY, Department of Anthropology, Indiana
University.
Florida years:
During this period I gave 50 papers at national and international conferences. During
one decade the chair, on sexist grounds, found a way to keep me from attending. For the first 30
years my support was always less than that for men presenting, who were never prevented from
attending; my salary also was less than any man's, even those less in rank.
Also during this period I gave some 90 INTERNATIONAL LECTURES, WORKSHOPS,
SENIMARS to public groups and some 150 on the national scene.
Over the years I have prepared some 50 primers for use in classrooms. Now, from some
of the workshops for teachers, Jaqaru speaking teachers are preparing them, some of which can
we seen on our Jaqaru website http://txupi.wordpress.com/ . I also prepared Scrabble games (this
means painting new tiles to account for the alphabets involved) for both Aymara and Jaqaru – my
husband and I enjoy playing trilingually.
For OSCLG and WisCon I attended each some 20 times, in all cases actively
participating by presenting, panel participation, and taking students who also actively
participated, for OSCLG twice wining awards. Within WisCon I participated in the founding of
the Carl Brandon Society for People of Color in SF and then served on the Board for many years
and as juror for the Parallax and Kindred Awards.
I have been chair for some 45 thesis/dissertation committees and on the committee for an
additional 20 or so.
In my field methods courses and in thesis/dissertation I have worked with:
Asanti, Aymara, Azerbaijani, Chichewa, Chiluba, Creole, Japanese, Jaqaru, Kanjobal,
Korean, Mam, Mikasuki, Shona, Songhai, Suthu, Thai, Turkish, Twi, Urobo-Isoko,
Yoruba, Xhosa.
I have taught courses, sometimes in several incarnations, in:
Anthropological Linguistics, Aymara Grammar, Aymara Semantics, Bilingual Education,
Discourse Analysis, Ethnosemantics, Grammar Writing. History of Linguistics, Language
& Culture, Language & People, Language and Dialects, Language and Gender,
Language and Perception, Language and Violence, Language Change, Language in the
Classroom, Latin American Interdisciplinary Seminar. Linguistics & Science Fiction,
Metaphor and Derivational Thinking, Phonology, Sexism and Language,
Sounds of Human Language (Phonetics & Phonemics), Structure of Aymara, Syntax
And all the service tasks expected of all academics on committees, etc.

January 1969 – October 2012 Professor of Anthropology/Linguistics with adjunct Latin American
Studies, and Women's Studies, University of Florida
November 1969 My Peruvian mentor Dr. José María Arguedas died by his own
hand, harassed beyond bearing by the racism of urban Perú.
1969-1990 DIRECTOR, AYMARA LANGUAGE MATERIALS PROJECT
w/ Center for Latin American Studies – now see http://aymara.ufl.edu/
funded under NDEA Title VI for 21 years, supporting both Aymara
assistants/students and teaching assistants from the U.S. as well as research on Aymara.
We were pioneers in offering a Native American language as a full-fledged language
course. Now such is common but not at UF. But we did put in on the internet so anyone
can now use our materials. And several Aymara speakers obtained Master's degrees and
subsequently set up programs in their own countries such that now there are linguists
among the Aymara.
March 1970 Our second son was born. Again, on a Tuesday and Thursday I was back in
the classroom. This time the sexist atmosphere made me hide the pregnancy, so I
presented my second son at my first son's birthday party later in the month. I must say, it
caused a stir, and, I hope, made it easier for later faculty who had children. Certainly it is
now so.

1977 -- Dissertation: Joseph Orville Davidson, Jr. A CONTRASTIVE STUDY OF THE

(Haas) 1977
This dissertation, much to my surprise at the time, is based almost entirely on my work,
specifically my three grammars: my Jaqaru grammar, my Aymara grammar, and the
Cuzco Quechua grammar of Cornell, the first draft of which I wrote with no credit
whatsoever ever being given, not even a citation. Most of the grammatical discoveries
were mint. The author thought he was working with independent sources – using my
work he came to the same conclusions I did, obliviously. Thus the workings of sexism.

1989 -- We became exiles because of the terror in Perú and Dimas began to live
with me on a regular basis in Florida. We were both directly threatened, he only
by a miracle escaping, something I shall someday perhaps write up.
Simultaneously, I was threatened at UF for rejecting the falsification of data by a
white boy, an administration favorite, data given by my Andean students. That
terror was horrendous (even to guns and flat tires) and was extended to any
students who continued studying with me, both by the falsifiers and by the
administration. For a very long time we both sat stunned.

In 1989 I discovered both OSCLG and WisCon, thanks to Suzette Haden Elgin.
Both of these groups were at first my refuge from terror and then my own
groups where I could feel at home. The publications thereafter began to reflect
my participation in both groups.

Which grammatical categories and linguistic postulates are found in languages
created by feminist science fiction authors?
The term ‘linguistic postulate’, my own theoretical construction, is used as a
general reference with no attribution. It has passed into the general vocabulary
at least of a portion for the Science Fiction community. A most uncommon honor.

I had always considered San Marcos as my alma mater, though I had no degree — and
now I do and it does feel so very very right. A warm memory.
