CONFERENCEThe faculty is the leading organization in Latvian language research, dedicated to ensuring the development and sustainability of the language. Equally significant for expressing the identity of Latvia’s residents and enhancing their sense of belonging are the studies of history, various cultural aspects, and religious perspectives. Research on countries hostile to Europe, religious extremism, ideological trends, and historical processes has become vital to the faculty’s international research. These studies are published by reputable international publishers in English, German, and other languages.
