Ph.D. Student, M.Ed.

This month, the Linguistics department recognizes Ph.D. student Seaira Lett for our DEI Spotlight feature.

Seaira was awarded the Willson Center Graduate Research Award this past month for her study of the Chuj language, a Mayan language primarily spoken in Guatemala. The grant will be used to cover travel expenses and to compensate Chuj speakers who will be interviewed for Lett’s research. Lett hopes to address the phonology, semantics, and morphosyntax of the Chuj language in her research.
