We are excited to announce that Dr. Silvina Montrul has been recognized with a Marjorie Roberts Professorship in Liberal Arts & Sciences! This professorship was granted based upon her excellent record of scholarship, contributions to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and contributions to public engagement.

In particular, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences recognizes Silvina for being a renowned scholar in bilingualism; her research focuses on understanding how bilingual individuals’ language experience shapes their linguistic knowledge. She has also fostered research by founding and directing the Second Language Acquisition and Bilingualism lab in the School of Literatures, Cultures & Linguistics.

Congratulations to Silvina!
