Description:
The IRES Track Experimental Linguistics in the Caribbean is recruiting
talented undergraduate and graduate students residing in the U.S. from (but
not limited to) historically minoritized groups to partake in a full-time 7
week program (June 13 to July 31 2022) to engage in research in experimental
linguistics and to benefit from training to conduct research in diverse
socio-cultural, geographic and linguistic environments.

Applications from undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in programs in
African-American/Black/Caribbean Studies, Cognitive Science, Computational
Sciences, Education, Linguistics, Modern Languages, Psychology,
Speech-Language-Hearing-Communication Sciences are welcome!
Modalities & Locations:

1 week online, 1 week at Molloy College, LI, NY and 5 weeks in Guadeloupe

The stay in Guadeloupe will also include experiencing Antilles culture through
sightseeing and fieldwork in collaboration with Guadeloupean and Martinican
students.
Objective: Combining scientific and global/international experience

Despite growing awareness in the need for diversity in Higher Education,
progress is impeded by the iota of minorities enrolled in linguistic-oriented
disciplines. This seven-week program will address this limitation by equipping
students with a combination STEM-based and cross-cultural and linguistic
skills to conduct research projects in different environments that they will
be able to subsequently use to succeed in their academic and professional
careers.
Implementation of the program for US students

Guadeloupian and Haitian Creoles); ethical training to conduct research in
