Please join us for our annual Linguistics Graduate Student Conference.
The event is intended to serve as an informal and friendly venue for students to present completed or in-progress work in the format of an academic conference.
In addition to fostering community amongst presenters, the event is open to the wider Carleton community and we encourage students and faculty to attend to learn more about the kinds of graduate research currently underway in these inter-related fields.
