Congratulations to Antje Stöhr who graduated with an M.A. in Linguistics and Cognitive Science in December 2011. She has been accepted as a PhD student at Radboud Universitet Nijmegen in a joint program with the International Max Planck Research School for Psycholinguistics. Antje will be working with Paula Fikkert and Janet van Hell on a project involving language acquisition in bilingual children (including children with language impairments).

The department of Linguistics and Cognitive Science has left its home at 42 and 46 E. Delaware Avenue. Its new home 123 East Main Street Suite 125. This is approximately across the street from Walgreen's. However, the entrance is on the other side of the building, and is not on main street itself.

We look forward to seeing you in our new home!

Dr. Robin Andresen, along with Pam Cook and Heather Doty, has been awarded funding from the President’s Diversity Initiative. Their project will extend the work of their NSF-funded ADVANCE grant to improve the climate for underrepresented faculty in STEM departments (science, technology, engineering, mathematics). Sam Gaertner, Department of Psychology, a national leader in the study of unintended bias, is also collaborating on this project. Read the UDaily article here!
