Language Science Day 2017

Language Science Day (LSD) is a signature annual event for Maryland's language science community. Each Fall, LSD brings together up to 200 students and faculty from across the University and affiliated centers, providing opportunities for participants to exchange ideas, showcase new or ongoing projects, find out about research and training opportunities, spark potential collaborations, and get to know their fellow language scientists.

This year we’re focusing on the role of our community in influencing local and national policy related to language, education, health, and science. We highlight the experiences of language scientists who have worked to connect their research to policy, and discuss ways to channel our collective commitment to increasing the influence of language science research in evidence-based policy.
