Thank you to everyone who joined us for this quarter. We are going to take a break for the rest of Fall 2023, but are coming back in Winter 2024 with a BANG to celebrate the 55th year of the Center for Research on Language!

FIRST: We will be changing our CRL meeting time! Many people have expressed to us that the late time on Tuesdays makes it difficult to come in person. We want to make sure everyone has a chance to come, so we will be deciding on a new CRL meeting time.

SECOND: We want to update our CRL Directory! This is for two reasons: one, we want to make sure our email announcements are getting to all the new students, postdocs, and faculty that would be interested as well as making sure we have an updated list of contact information for the CRL network

THIRD: We want to grow our CRL community! Do you know someone who might be interested in joining CRL? Please forward them this email so they can fill out their preferences and directory information as well and we’ll get them signed up on our email lists. We especially encourage students and postdocs to get involved; the CRL community is open to all who want to connect and engage in language science!

FOURTH: We will be starting up CRL Talks again in Winter 2024 with some new ideas! We have recently had the wonderful Anne Beatty-Martínez and Martin Zettersten join our community and they have some great new ideas for CRL. We will likely be bringing back the happy half hour (and snacks!) and switching to an earlier time. Other ideas include having themed quarters for talk topics, switching to an every-other-week schedule, and hosting special talk days for student data blitzes. We are very excited about these changes and can’t wait for you all to see what we have in store for you. Therefore, please look out for future emails so you don’t miss out on these awesome opportunities!

We are very excited about these changes and are looking forward to a renewed vigor in CRL!

Thanks!

Emily (Provenzano) Robles & the CRL Team
