Welcome to the research guide for the UO Linguistics REU Site!
The UO Linguistics REU site, funded by the National Science Foundation (award #2050429), is an 8-week, fully funded summer program designed for American Indian/Alaska Native students to experience a culturally responsive introduction to STEM and higher education more broadly. Because linguistics and language science interfaces with so many disciplines, it is an ideal gateway to STEM. The program is designed to incorporate students’ own experience into opportunities to conduct hands-on research in Linguistics that is meaningful both culturally and professionally.
If you have trouble with this site, please contact our Resource Sharing Department at ill@uoregon.edu or by calling 541-346-3055. You can review the Interlibrary Loan (ILL) policies on our website. Note: There is a $15 charge for each document we deliver via ILL to REU program participants. You may have the option to request resources through your local public library's ILL system for free.
Research is an iterative process, meaning it's repetitive but you learn as you move forward and make changes. It's more cyclical than straightforward or linear. Use the guide navigation to learn about each of the steps of the process, and don't be afraid to jump around between steps.

The University of Oregon is located on Kalapuya Ilihi, the traditional indigenous homeland of the Kalapuya people. Following treaties between 1851 and 1855, Kalapuya people were dispossessed of their indigenous homeland by the United States government and forcibly removed to the Coast Reservation in Western Oregon. Today, descendants are citizens of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde Community of Oregon and the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians of Oregon, and continue to make important contributions in their communities, at UO, and across the land we now refer to as Oregon.*
The UO Libraries has operations and repositories at various locations in Oregon, and wishes to acknowledge the traditional homelands of the Kalapuya peoples of the Willamette Valley of Eugene; Chinook, Clackamas, Kalapuya, Kathlamet, Molalla, Multnomah, Tualatin, and other tribes and bands (Portland area); and the Coos, Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw (Charleston area).
We express our respect for all federally recognized Tribal Nations of Oregon. This includes the Burns Paiute Tribe, the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians, the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde Community of Oregon, the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians of Oregon, the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation, the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, the Coquille Indian Tribe, the Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians, and the Klamath Tribes. We also express our respect for all other displaced Indigenous peoples who call Oregon home.
