The Department of Linguistics hosts a research colloquium each week at which a scholar of language and linguistics presents a lecture and entertains discussion afterwards.  We also host regular workshops and panel discussions on various research topics and community language matters. All members of the Department of Linguistics, including undergraduate students, are encouraged to participate. Further, we would be delighted to see others from the University of Oregon community and the larger community of which we are all a part.

The Linguistics Colloquium is organized by the graduate student organization GLOSS. Please feel free to contact GLOSS with suggestions for speakers or ideas for future Colloquium themes or events.
