A little on our Keynote Speakers
We recently announced who our keynote speakers would be, and I would like to spend a little time giving you some idea of who they are and what their key goals in research are.
Professor Heather Goad
Heather is a senior member of the McGill linguistics faculty and has been with us since 1992, being an associate professor for over ten years now. Her research focuses on the acquisition of phonology, but she covers prosodic structure, morphological acquisition as well as phonology proper.
You can read more at her personal website.
Dr. Meghan Clayards
A relatively new addition to the McGill Linguistics team, Meghan's focus is within a more theoretical idea of phonetics. She researches speech perception, word recognition and acoustic phonetics.

Site Launch
Welcome one and all to the McCCLU 2011 site. I intend to update this regularly with useful announcements and dates for your calendar. This year, the Society of Linguistics Undergraduates of McGill will be hosting their fifth conference. I personally wish all the best for the event.
The first two of dates for your diary are pretty important: firstly, the conference will be taking place on the weekend of March 11. We are currently taking applications to present at the conference in the form of abstracts. These should be a page in length maximum, detailing a twenty-minute talk with ten minutes of open discussion following afterward. These should be sent as an Word document email attachment to mccclu2011@gmail.com.
