This Spring, the Linguistics Seminar Series included a poster session for current graduate students to highlight ongoing and recent research. Many of these researchers will also be presenting their work later this year at conferences both across the country and abroad. A current list of upcoming student presentations can be found here. This poster session showcased a large range of research and methods from a variety of subfields relating to languages and Linguistics.
