?? Exclusive Opportunities for Our Program's Students! ?? Join us tomorrow for Dr. Fuchs’ talk:? ?? “When number and gender compete: On the interaction between agreement features during language processing in heritage bilinguals.” We’re thrilled to host Dr. Fuchs for our colloquium tomorrow. She recently shared this powerful advice for young scientists during her Copernicus interview:? “I have benefited so much from talking to others in the field about my work. Connecting with other researchers is an opportunity to come across something you may not have considered that will improve your work, or to learn how to frame your research in a more compelling way, or maybe to engage with someone who could be a future mentor or collaborator. If you approach others with openness, it can do wonders to the quality of your work and to the breadth of your research network.” ?? Current students in our program have an incredible chance to connect with Dr. Fuchs through one-on-one appointments. But act fast—there are only 3 slots available! ?? To secure your spot, email the Colloquium Committee.? ?? Check your email for details about volunteering & the colloquium dinner! Let’s make the most of this colloquium with Dr. Fuchs! ???

After teaching undergraduate courses on #folklore - specifically on German fairy tales for the past 10 years, I am very thankful to have been invited to the New Haven #Latino and Iberian Film Festival at #Yale University, (#LIFFY) to show the results of a collaboration with Miguel Rueda, of #Aguijonfilms. This short, animated video represents a newly recycled version of #Rotk?ppchen (#Little Red Riding Hood). “#Little Red - A Tale of Resistance” reflects the status of women’s/human rights in today’s society and is inspired by the courageous and brave women of our times. #animation #music #littleredridinghood #littlered #LIFFY #aguijonfilms #ataleofresistance #nycmusic https://lnkd.in/eqJAiJQ7
