The Russell Lecture on Spiritual Life welcomes Ofelia Zepeda, director of the American Indian Language Development Institute at University of Arizona, where she also is a professor of linguistics. Zepeda teaches courses on the Tohono O’odham language and other American Indian languages. Her research areas include language variation, language policy, and issues of endangered languages. Join for a conversation with both O’odham and English poetry, on how language shapes our spiritual worlds and futures. RSVP through the online registration page.

The Russell Lecture on Spiritual Life is the oldest endowed lectureship at Tufts and offers a spiritual perspective on this historical moment.
