Community

Language Science is broad and our community is large. The University of Maryland is home to over 200 language scientists in 22 different departments and centers. There is strength in numbers, but more important than our size is the level of connection and integration across disciplines and perspectives, in the form of collaborative research projects, co-mentoring of students, and co-teaching of interdisciplinary classes. The lively community provides the foundation for all else that we do.
