Baldwin is the director of the Myaamia Center at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. The center works to revitalize endangered languages. His devotion to the work of language revitalization led to the creation of the Myaamia Center at Miami University and his appointment as the director and was chosen in 2016 as a MacArthur Foundation Fellow.{{Cite web|url=https://miamination.com/node/28|title=News & Announcements {{!}} Kitloona Myaamiaki {{!}} Miami Tribe of Oklahoma|website=miamination.com|access-date=2017-11-14}} Baldwin seeks to revitalize languages for the people of the community, language and cultural revitalization.

After reading a draft of David Costa's thesis on the Miami-Illinois language, Baldwin realized he would need training in linguistics to not only understand Costa's work but also work to revitalize his own language and to teach it to others. The realization led Baldwin to apply for a graduate degree at the University of Montana.{{Cite journal|doi=10.1086/693763|title=Indigenous Linguists: Bringing Research into Language Revitalization|journal=International Journal of American Linguistics|volume=83|issue=4|pages=607–617|year=2017|last1=Gerdts|first1=Donna B.|s2cid=149081645}} Since 1996, Baldwin began to teach himself and his family and four children the Miami language.{{Cite web|url=http://www.imperialvalleynews.com/index.php/news/california-news/8908-breath-of-life-conference-to-help-california-indians-save-endangered-languages.html|title=U.S. Department of State Launches Fifth Annual "Free the Press" Campaign|website=www.imperialvalleynews.com|date=25 April 2016 |language=en-gb|access-date=2017-11-08}}{{Cite web|url=http://www.buffalopost.net|title=Forbrukslån info|website=www.buffalopost.net|language=en-US|access-date=2017-11-08}} Baldwin also learned through studies held by the Smithsonian's National Anthropological Archives.
