While the Linguistics Research Seminars feature more formal presentations with external speakers, the Lab Talks provide a forum for staff and students to share work in progress for feedback in an informal setting. Sessions normally take place on Wednesdays at 1:00pm.

For more information on the Linguistics Lab Talks, please contact Juliana Gerard.
