Emory University Program in Linguistics

So proud of our faculty and students for an amazing showing at SECOL 2026! 👏

Thank you to everyone who presented and everyone who came to support— thanks for building such a strong community 💛

We even got to reconnect with 2020 alum, Joaquin Perez, now finishing a master’s at NC State—so exciting to see where linguistics can take you!
