*Note: Our research centrally concerns qualitative variation in language experience, knowledge, and context — that means that we are excited to work with interested scholars with all types of training, both formal and informal. For example, many projects benefit from students raised in multilingual and multidialectal households, including all dialects of English, Patois, Creole, Spanish, Mandarin, Cantonese, Vietnamese, Russian, Yiddish, American Sign Language, Hindi, Gujarati, Arabic, and Lusoga. Other projects benefit from students who have previous experience with children, families, in the retail or service industries, or who grew up in one of the five boroughs of NYC. If you are curious, observant, and want to commit time to both sharing your expertise with the lab, and to learning about the research process, please get in touch! The primary reasons we have to 'turn away' students in a particular semester are when there is a misalignment in schedules, or when the lab is at capacity.
