Beginning Researchers Discussion Group

(This group was previously organized at the University of Illinois.)

What? Research group for undergraduates and beginning graduate students to discuss research projects and weekly themes such as research methodology or how to submit to and present at a conference.

Why? Because you have an interest in doing research in Linguistics but have questions or aren’t sure where to start. Start here!

Who? Everyone is welcome! Please ask if you have any questions.
