Purpose

The University of Texas at Arlington Student Conference in Linguistics & TESOL is a student-led conference specifically designed to give graduate students a chance to present their original research. This is a great opportunity to join students from across America and around the world to present research on language.

Keynote Speaker

Our keynote speaker will be Dr. Colleen Fitzgerald. Dr. Fitzgerald is the Department of Linguistics & TESOL Chair and Associate Professor of Linguistics at The University of Texas at Arlington, and has her Master of Arts and Ph.D. in Linguistics from The University of Arizona. Her work includes phonological research on the Tohono O'odham language, and most recently she has been working on documentation and revitalization of the language, using unpublished archival materials and legacy recordings. This recent research will drive her keynote lecture, entitled "Language Activism and Revitalization in the Tohono O'odham Community." (Audio of the talk is now available for streaming.)
