Meeting Description:

On behalf of the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at Georgetown
University, we invite you to participate in the 10th annual Graduate
Portuguese and Hispanic Symposium (GRAPHSY). We welcome proposals within the
theme Movements and Waves that represents research in the fields of
Linguistics or Iberian and Latin American Literature/Culture. To celebrate our
decennial symposium, the theme will pay tribute to current movements within
these fields. Many of these movements build off the energy of earlier
scholars, while others break free from earlier traditions and disturb the
status quo. Whatever the case, these new movements are integrated into the
fields, resulting in ripples and repercussions that, for years, continue to
impact the approaches scholars take to pursue research in these areas. GRAPHSY
2017 recognizes this transmission of energy as a critical component of the
diffusion of knowledge within these spheres, and hopes to provide a forum for
the communion of these revolutionary and innovative ideas.

Keynote Speaker:

ALINE GODFROID is an Assistant Professor of Second Language Studies in the
Department of Linguistics and Languages at Michigan State University. A
cutting-edge scholar in the use of eye-tracking, she began doing eye-movement
research during her doctoral studies at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, in
Belgium, and is currently the co-director of the Second Language Studies
Eye-tracking Lab (with Paula Winke). Dr. Godfroid specializes in cognitive
processes in second language acquisition, teaching courses on L2
psycholinguistics, statistics, eye-tracking, vocabulary acquisition and
advanced research. In her research, Dr. Godfroid attempts to bridge the gap
between psycholinguistics and actual second language learning, especially
focusing on (a) attention, awareness and the ‘Noticing Hypothesis’, (b)
implicit and explicit learning and memory, (c) incidental vocabulary
acquisition while reading, and (d) automatization. As a principal
investigator, she has received grants from organizations including the
National Science Foundation (NSF Doctoral Dissertation Improvement Grant,
''Speech perception in bilingual and monolingual speakers under normal and
adverse listening conditions''), Language Learning (“Incidental and
intentional L2 vocabulary learning: Are they different?”), the Humanities and
Arts Research Program (“Recording eye movements in second language research: A
methodological guide”), and the Flanders-based research foundation, Fonds voor
Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek (“Bridging the gap: Linking noticing and the
implicit acquisition of grammatical subregularities in L2 German” with Alex
Housen), and has published prolifically in peer-edited journals including
Language Learning, Applied Psycholinguistics, and Studies in Second Language
Acquisition, for which she currently serves as an editorial board member.
