Jochem Schindler

Jochem "Joki" Schindler (8 November 1944 in Amstetten, Lower Austria – 24 December 1994 in Prague) was an Austrian Indo-Europeanist. In spite of his comparatively thin bibliography, he made important contributions, in particular to the theory of Proto-Indo-European nominal inflection and ablaut. Taught at University of Vienna from 1972 - 1978, as a professor at Harvard University from 1978 - 1987, then at Vienna.[1] A meticulous scholar, he also recognized that mistakes were inevitable, and his phrase "Mut zum Irrtum" ("courage to err") became popular with his colleagues, including Calvert Watkins. With Watkins and others, he was a founding member of the “East Coast Indo-European Conference” in 1982.[2]
