Linguistics course at Western Ontario University

All professions encounter a range of issues around the ethical practice of their work. The profession of linguistics is no exception. To address the ethical issues that are unique to linguistics, the LSA has an Ethics Committee. The committee has developed a number of resources and other materials relating to ethical issues in the practice of linguistics:
