YALP 2020

Announcement: It is with heavy hearts that we have decided to postpone YALP until next summer (2021) due to the Covid crisis. We hope you understand the rationale for this decision and wish you and your families health and patience. We also hope that you will join us next summer, for YALP 2021. We look forward to being in touch with you about the details. Until then, please take care!

The Yerevan Academy for Linguistics and Philosophy (YALP) is an intensive summer program in linguistics and philosophy that is sponsored by the organizers, who are donating their time and energy.

YALP 2020 will bring together undergraduate and graduate students from Armenia and other countries in the region. The summer school is generously hosted by The American University of Armenia.

The purpose of the academy is to provide an opportunity for students to develop their knowledge and skills, possibly with a view toward applying to doctoral programs in philosophy or linguistics (including programs in the USA and Europe).

There will be no tuition or fees for students participating in The Yerevan Academy for Linguistics and Philosophy. We are currently trying to raise money to help defray housing costs for students, but at the moment students should plan their budgets on the assumption that they will be responsible for the cost of their own housing while participating in YALP.
