Lenore А. Grenoble is the John Matthews Manly Distinguished Service Professor in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Chicago, specializing in Slavic and Arctic Indigenous languages. Her research focuses on language contact and shift, vitality and sustainability, documentation and revitalization. Her primary fieldwork engages with speakers in far Northeastern Russia and Siberia, and in Greenland. Grenoble is currently engaged in a major project that brings together linguistic, sociolinguistic and psycholinguistic factors in contact-induced morphosyntactic change and shift, together with a study of the relationship of climate change, urbanization, language vitality and well-being in Arctic Indigenous communities.
