This year’s event includes a poster session featuring the work of our department’s graduate students\, followed by a keynote talk titled “On the nature of word-internal language mixing” by Dr. Faruk Akkuş of the University of Massachusetts\, Amherst. The Colloquium is free for all who present or attend; there is no registration fee. \nThis talk deals with the language mixing patterns in the verbal and nominal domains of Turkish\, Anatolian Arabic and Northern Kurdish\, initially investigated in Akkuş 2025. In that study\, I proposed the No-Reversal Constraint (NRC)\, which prohibits switching back to a language that has been externalized earlier in the derivation. Focusing on rarely studied trilingual settings\, this talk broadens the empirical coverage of this constraint\, and addresses two issues left unaddressed in Akkuş 2025. I demonstrate that word-internal language mixing takes place even in the absence of phonological and morphological integration\, and in some cases phonological processes do not track each other. As such\, this phenomenon cannot simply be a case of borrowing\, and the NRC applies regardless of the level of integration. Moreover\, I demonstrate that the NRC applies at the domain of morphosyntactic words\, regulating the possible permutations of switches\, and further show that the NRC is a structural\, not linear-based constraint \n\n\n\n From Friday\, April 24\, 2026 3:30 PM\n to 6:00 PM EDT\n at Smith 107.

The lecture\, “Book Banning in 21st Century America: An Ongoing Threat to Information Access\,” will take place on Friday\, April 24\, 2026\, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. in the Freedom Forum\, Carroll Hall Room 305\, and will be followed by a reception with hors d’oeuvres and conversation from 6:30 to 7:15 p.m. \nThe first 50 people to RSVP will receive a complimentary copy of Emily Knox’s “Book Banning in 21st-Century America.“ \nHR 7661\, or the Stop the Sexualization of Children Act\, recently passed out of the U.S. House Committee on Education. The bill is the first attempt at federal legislation in the post-2020 book banning era. The bill is short\, but it provides insight into the types of information that can be seen as threatening. What would the effect of this bill be? What can it tell us about book banning more generally\, and how do we respond to this type of legislation? \nAbout the Lucille Kelling Henderson Lecture:\nThe Lucile Kelling Henderson Lecture Series was established in 1990 to honor the memory of Lucile K. Henderson\, SILS faculty member (1932-1960) and dean (1954-1960). As an excellent teacher\, administrator\, counselor and adviser\, Henderson made many contributions to the University and to the profession. She died in 1990 at the age of 95.

Therapeutic Writing Retreat DESCRIPTION:Write On! Therapeutic Writing Retreat\n\nTake a mindful pause and explore the power of words. Writing can be a simple yet profound way to reduce stress\, process emotions\, and connect more deeply with yourself. During this one-hour retreat\, you’ll experience guided therapeutic writing exercises inspired by the work of J.W. Pennebaker\, Ph.D.\, and J.F. Evans\, Ed.D.\, designed to help you slow down\, reflect\, and release. \nYou’ll be introduced to several styles of therapeutic writing — from expressive and letter-writing to gratitude writing. You will be given writing prompts and your writing will remain private and not shared. Any student – undergraduate\, graduate\, professional\, or post-doc – is welcome to attend. The retreat will begin and close with a meditation. \nWhether you’re curious about how writing can support your wellbeing or just want a calm\, creative space to breathe and reflect\, this retreat is for you. Come with an open mind and a willingness to write your way toward greater clarity and calm. \nRegistrations are limited to 15 people. On the day of the event\, check in at the CAPS front desk on the 3rd floor of Campus Health.  \n\n\n\n From Tuesday\, April 28\, 2026 3:30 PM\n to 4:30 PM EDT\n at CAPS – 3rd Floor.
