Buorisboahtem / Buerie båeteme/ Welcome to the 7th Saami Linguistics
Symposium at Nord University, Bodø, Norway!
On 4–5 November 2026, the 7th Saami Linguistics Symposium (SAALS 7)
will be held at Nord University in Bodø, Norway.
The symposium is the continuation of a series of international
symposia previously held in Tromsø 2006 and 2009, in Freiburg 2017, in
Uppsala 2019, in Tartu 2022, and in Helsinki 2024. The purpose of the
symposium is to give scholars an opportunity to present current
research, participate in formal and informal discussions on relevant
topics, and explore potential opportunities for future collaborative
work. We especially encourage younger researchers at the Master’s and
PhD levels to present their work.
The focal theme of the 7th symposium will be Saami language
revitalization and education with keynote lectures given by Inga Lill
Sigga Mikkelsen (University of Tromsø – The Arctic University of
Norway) and Pigga Keskitalo (University of Lapland). However, papers
related to all aspects of Saami languages and linguistics are warmly
welcome at the symposium. The Call for papers will follow shortly.
