Congrats to UROP recipient Kate Fraser
Congratulations to junior Linguistics major Kate Fraser, who was awarded an Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) grant — specifically, a Humanities Scholars Award — to work on linguistics research in Summer 2021! Below is a brief description of the project she will be working on:
- Kate Fraser: “Listener perception and identification of Asian American speech”
In Summer 2021, Kate will conduct a perception study to examine how consistently listeners can identify Asian Americans on the basis of their English speech, how detailed such perceptual judgments are, and how listeners’ own race/ethnicity and exposure to Asian Americans in their community influence their judgments.
