The Center for Applied Linguistics manages the Language Policy Research Network (LPReN), an international organization of researchers, scholars, and stakeholders in the field of language policy. Originally launched by the Association Internationale de Linguistique Appliquée (the International Association of Applied Linguistics) Research Networks Committee in 2006, the overarching mission of LPReN is to promote the development of networks and rich collaboration around issues of language policy.
LPReN’s advisory committee consists of internationally recognized scholars and experts in the field of educational language policy, planning, management, and politics, with members representing 13 countries and 5 continents. The LPReN team hosts colloquia at conferences, invites publications related to the field, convene at events, and shares resources, announcements, and other opportunities via the LPREN listserv.
