New Talk Series on Linguistics Research

From Consumer to Producer: Getting Started in Linguistic Research

Ever wondered what the protocol is for working with informants, or how to obtain IRB approval? Ever looked at faculty and advanced graduate students and wondered how they learned all the ins and outs of working within an academic institution to produce original research? The University of Chicago Department of Linguistics would like to extend an open invitation to anyone starting work in linguistics, or interested in the process, to a new series of talks this May. Each talk will consist of presentations by a panel of speakers followed by a thirty minute Q & A period. Come hear experienced researchers share their wisdom (and how they acquired it) and bring your burning questions. Join the speakers and audience after the talks at a reception in the Linguistics Lounge on the third floor of Classics.
