MCCLOSKEY AT NORTHWESTERN

Jim McCloskey travelled to Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois on Friday, to give a colloquium at the Linguistics Department there (more or less a repeat performance of the first UCSC colloquium of the year). Being in Evanston, Jim was able to connect with Tommy Denby who graduated with the MA from Santa Cruz in June 2013 and is now in the PhD program at Northwestern. While settling in at Northwestern, Tommy has continued to blog at the New Yorker. A contingent also came out for the talk from the Department of Linguistics at the University of Chicago, led by alumnus Jason Merchant, who sends his greetings via WHASC to all at Santa Cruz.
