Pui Fong Kan (SLHS), Eliana Colunga (Physchology/Nueroschience), and Bhuvana Narasimhan (Linguistics) receives a Social Sciences Divisional grant to support undergraduate research.
The researchers, from three different departments across campus, will launch a new interdisciplinary training program "Diversity in Child Language Acquisition Research" in Fall '24 to train a cohort of undergraduate students to investigate language development in children from marginalized and underresourced communities. Students will learn research and professional socialization skills through rotations in the Child Language Learning Lab (Pui Fong Kan), Developmental and Cognitive Adaptive Systems lab (Eliana Colunga), and the Language, Development, and Cognition Lab (Bhuvana Narasimhan).
