I'm particularly pleased to announce that it will include talks by Brian Dillon and Kristine Yu, our new faculty in Linguistics, as well as Alexandra Jesse, who has recently joined us in Psychology. There will also be over 30 posters by students and faculty in these two departments as well as Communication Disorders, Computer Science, and Languages, Literatures and Cultures. In addition, the recipients of 12 seed grants for new interdisciplinary research on language will be announced.
