Fred Gregor “Greg” Rahouj (MA, Scandinavian Studies, 2026), an international student from Estonia, has pursued research that supports an Indigenous language of Siberia called Khanty, which is at risk of becoming endangered. Greg has addressed a problem with natural language processing of Khanty, and also the challenge of studying/supporting an endangered language in Russia due to the Foreign Agents Act of 2022, which seeks to prohibit any foreign influence in Russia. Greg plans to return to Estonia and work on language policy and other projects to support marginalized language communities.
