 </p><p>The UBC Department of Linguistics has a strong tradition in document
 ing and analyzing endangered languages. Every year the department focuses o
 n a different language of study in the context of a year-long field methods
  course\, which runs from September to April. For example\, in 2012-2013\, 
 UBC-Linguistics had the opportunity to work with a speaker-linguist of Nata
 \, which is an endangered Eastern Bantu language spoken in Northwestern Tan
 zania. Some of the research results\, which were presented at the annual me
 eting of the Association of Contemporary African Linguistics (ACAL)\, have 
 recently been published in a special OUP volume edited by J. Kandybowicz & 
 H. Torrence entitled <b>Africa’s Endangered Languages: Theoretical and Docu
 mentary Approaches. </b>Notably\, 5 of the 19 chapters in the book were con
 tributed by UBC researchers.</p><p>The UBC African Studies program\, togeth
 er with the UBC Department of Linguistics\, would like to celebrate this ac
 hievement by inviting you to participate in a book launch to celebrate the 
 publication of this monograph.</p><p>If you are leading an organization or 
 association that engages with Africa in any aspect\, we ask that you invite
  your members as well.</p><p>The evening will include a Roundtable discussi
 on with representatives of the Africa Awareness Initiative (AAI)\, UBC Ling
 uistics\, UBC African Studies\, UBC First Nations and Endangered Languages\
 , musical performances\, and authentic African food & refreshments.</p><p>W
 e are looking forward to seeing you!</p><p>For more details\, contact <a hr
