The Department of Linguistics is pleased to announce the recipients of our 2021 Linguistics Undergraduate Research Awards, also known as LURA. Each spring, the Department of Linguistics invites faculty, GPTIs, and TAs to nominate students in their classes (both introductory and advanced) who have authored outstanding essays and/or research projects. The nominees then create short blogs about their research, working closely with their faculty and graduate student mentors. You can find the blog posts authored by our 2021 winners (all 25 of them!) at the above link.Ìý
