Good morning BULA!
After a small delay here is what you need to know if you missed the meeting
last Thursday. First, a big thank you to Professor Neidle who provided
food, and to all the people who came, it was great getting to know you
better! We learned a bit about our members varied interests in subjects
like orthography, syntax, sociolinguistics, and neuroscience.
We also discussed a future joint-event with the deaf studies club, so look
forward to a talk centered around deaf issues from new faculty member Amy
Lieberman. We also talked about a possible panel on accessibility of
healthcare for people who speak an underrepresented or stigmatized
language, so keep your eyes peeled for more info on that!
Lastly, we decided on our schedule of upcoming meetings, which are:
October 8: GSU dinner and game night
October 22
November 5
November 19
Come hang out on October 8th and enjoy a linguistics themed game night!
We also have some upcoming events sponsored by the Linguistics department
including an awesome presentation by Rupal Patel on her work collecting
donated voices. If that sounds intriguing then come see her speak on
September 30!
Don’t forget that the Linguistics open house is on October 1st, and that it
is a great opportunity to meet the Linguistics faculty, fellow students,
and enjoy some free food. hint hint.
See this graphic for other upcoming events, and dont forget that you can
get more information at bula.bu.edu anytime!

Hey BULA!
Our first meeting of the semester is coming up fast on September 17th,
exactly one week from today! We will be meeting at 5:00 in the linguistics
building on 621 Commonwealth Ave. room B02.
We will be discussing our plans for the semester, what we want to get out
of this club, as well as getting to know each other.
We had a hugely successful time at SPLASH, collecting two full pages of
emails, so I hope to see some of you at the meeting as well as our
returning members.
We are a very open group so even if you’re not a Linguistics major you are
definitely still welcome to come hang out, play some games, and talk more
about this cool thing called language! Bring your friends!
Please sign up to our facebook event for the meeting here:
