Event Details

The theme for the panel is 'Professional Development'. We hope to present you with opportunities and potential challenges, including ways to combat them through a lengthy Q&A with our panelists, Drs. Noreen Simmons and AJ Orena, in non-academic occupations, and panelists Drs. Alexis Black and Anusha Kassan, in collaborative academia.

This year the Research Day will be hybrid and will introduce attendees to the many diverse areas of language sciences research, as well as other scholars working in different disciplines, and potentially parallel research.
