Join us for a webinar discussing the experiences of being queer in linguistics, from applying to grad programs in our current climate to issues of teaching, researching, and publishing! Registration link below

Linguistic Society of America@lingsocam.bsky.social · 2w ago

On Oct 27 at 4P ET, linguists at different career stages will have a conversation about applying for jobs amid anti-trans & anti-queer legislation, being visibly out in research & classrooms, finding community, & putting queer & trans issues at the center of our work. www.lsadc.org/ev_calendar_...

The 12th(!) Gender Reveal grant cycle is now open for applications! As always, these funds are for organizing / community projects led by trans people of color. We are particularly interested in funding existing projects that materially support trans folks, queer people of color, immigrants, etc.

📣 Scholarship programme for applications by graduates in the Netherlands with a non-Western migration background and/or a recent asylum background. If interested to do PhD research in Computational Cognitive Science, feel free to reach out! Info about research lines in our lab in thread below. 🧵

The Spatio-Temporal Dynamics of Phoneme Encoding in Aging and Aphasia

During successful language comprehension, speech sounds (phonemes) are encoded within a series of neural patterns that evolve over time. Here we tested whether these neural dynamics of speech encoding...

A new study by @lauragwilliams.bsky.social, @kriesjill.bsky.social, and team suggests that phonetic features are robustly encoded in healthy older adults, but show reduced encoding strength in individuals with post-stroke aphasia during speech comprehension. www.jneurosci.org/content/46/4...

Out now in Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews! When studying language in the brain, we often look for things that can be model systems for language (songbirds, artificial grammars, etc.). Here, we flip this on its head and argue that language itself is an excellent model system for cognition 🗣️🧏‍♀️🧠

Take my course at the LSA summer institute this summer! (I actually have no idea how many people are going to register.)

We are excited to introduce GeoGraphica! Our new article type that puts maps and visual storytelling at the center. Since "The Netherlands in Maps" ended in 2016, we’ve lacked a home for cartographic creativity. GeoGraphica brings it back. Geography, seen as well as read. More coming soon!

I'm looking to chat with nonbinary and/or trans speakers of several languages, especially including Irish, Hindi, Arabic, Hebrew, Italian, Russian, Polish, Icelandic - but also any other languages (aside from English / Spanish / French). DM or email me!
