This summer, we loved being a part of @msualumni's MSU Grandparents University. Kids aged 8-12 and their grandparents did some fun diary-themed activities with us. Read on to find out more about what we did! https://t.co/OYMPnW8Sah

Fantastic feature from the @CALMSU on Mikayla Thompson! Mikayla was one of the winners of our 2023 Nurture Your Roots creative writing contest and her work is featured in the garden at our rooting stations. 😁 https://t.co/Xig7tATYa9

Everyone in the Sociolinguistics Lab benefited from hearing about Mikayla’s senior thesis and research poster last semester. Thanks to our colleagues @UOLinguistics for taking her to the next level with their NSF-REU program over the summer!

Thanks to @betsysneller, @LauraYares , @scheunenherz, @J_Rechsteiner and students from @mi_diaries and the MSU Sociolinguistics Lab for their joyful support with prep and in the classroom!

I'll tell you what it's like to teach at Grandparents University: VERY FUN. If you don't believe me, watch the b-roll of me telling 8-12 year-olds that they've just been Sorted into Gryffindor 😆

We're THRILLED to announce the appointment of Meredith Tamminga of UPenn as a new Glossa Px Associate Editor to cover work at the intersection of sociolinguistics and psycholinguistics, where researchers investigate questions having to do with socially situated language  1/2

It has been a joy and a privilege to work with Jennifer and Ben for so long. Give them all the awards!

Great stuff as always from @jonmfrey.
