Mentorship is one of our project values: mi-diaries.org/the-project/. For the second summer running, MI Diaries has hosted student researchers from colleges across the country. We're looking forward to seeing them share their work at #MidSURE2023 next week!

This is today! Come see the talented NSF-REU students that Betsy Sneller BLACK LIVES MATTER, Jack Rechsteiner, Adam Barnhardt and I have been mentoring this summer. Look for posters 202 to 205 in Arts and Humanities. Great analyses of pitch, discourse markers, quotatives, um/uh in MI Diaries data.
