On weeks without a Language Science Lunch Talk, we will have Language Science Lunch Time. Come have lunch with students and faculty from other departments and talk about what you're working on. If you can, we encourage you to participate in Coffeeloquium beforehand--3 hours of uninterrupted writing time in the company of your fellow language scientists.

The 12th annual Language Science Day is scheduled for Friday, October 28, 2022.

Language Science Day (LSD) is a signature annual event for Maryland's language science community, bringing together up to 200 students and faculty from across the university and affiliated centers. Participants get to know their fellow language scientists, exchange ideas, showcase their research, and discover opportunities for training or collaboration.

 

Language Chats

Come practice, improve, or maintain your language skills in a casual setting at Saint Mary's.

Weekly on Monday afternoons: 9/12, 9/19, 9/26, 10/3, 10/10, 10/17, 10/24, 10/31, 11/7, 11/14, 11/21, 11/28

Language Chats also provide you with the opportunity to meet with native speakers of each language and to find conversational partners of varying proficiency levels.

All grad students and post-bacs are invited for a meeting to discuss plans for the year. Lunch will be provided! The meeting will be led by the newly-elected Graduate Student Board: Zhiyi Wu, Sanshiroh Ogawa, Kelly Marshall, and Katherine Howitt. All are welcome, regardless of whether you've been involved in LSC activities in the past.
