The ÐÓ°Épro will host a series of free public lectures and films as part of the fifth Institute on Collaborative Language Research June 20-July 23, 2016, on the Fairbanks campus.

The institute brings together leading practitioners of language documentation from around the world, including undergraduate and graduate students, practicing linguists, and indigenous language speakers and language activists. This year's institute will focus on the languages of ÐÓ°Épro and language archiving and is hosted by the UAF ÐÓ°Épro Native Language Center.

The public daytime talks and evening films will explore language documentation and revitalization activities around the world. The final presentation will allow institute participants to share their experiences.
