About Us
Our Mission
The Three Rivers Language Center serves nondominant language communities in their efforts to pursue linguistic rights and the use of their languages. Our team does this through research, education, training, policy work, and advising governments, nongovernmental agencies, and civil society organizations.
Research
Projects, Funding, and Publications
From a collaborative research community-based perspective, we work primarily with refugee and immigrant communities, indigenous communities of the Americas, and nondominant linguistic communities in Southeast Asia. Our work focuses on nondominant language communities and linguistic issues related to language documentation, pedagogy, linguistic and human rights, and much more.
Community Engagement
Proud to Be Engaged
The TRLC takes pride in community engagement. We support and advocate for various language communities at the local and national level. See what we’ve been up to.
Partners and Programs
Where the Local Is Global
We know the importance of active and sustained partnerships in achieving our mission. We continue to partner with units across our campus, community organizations here in Northeast Indiana, and governmental and non-governmental institutions across the United States and the world.
