The NSF REU Site: Talking College and the UCSB-HBCU Scholars in Linguistics
Program are a joint initiative of the Department of Linguistics at the
University of California, Santa Barbara that brings together undergraduates
from UC Santa Barbara, Historically Black Colleges and Universities, and other
institutions throughout the United States. During this summer research
program, students will receive training in linguistics, preparation for
graduate school, and experience in conducting original research that extends
their understanding of African-American language, culture, and community.

Program participants will spend the first half of the program at UC Davis for
the LSA Summer Institute, accompanied by program faculty and graduate student
mentors from UC Santa Barbara. Participants will take courses at the
Linguistic Institute, conduct research at UC Davis and other colleges and
universities in the area, and confer with experts about their work.
Participants will be based at UC Santa Barbara for the remainder of the
program to conduct research at UCSB and at other institutions in Southern
California.
