Nguyen accepts psychology position at Illinois State

Allison Nguyen, an MA student in the department, has accepted a position as Assistant Professor of Cognitive and Experimental Psychology at Illinois State University, starting next fall. A PhD student in the Department of Psychology, Allison’s dissertation examines how conversational participants negotiate meaning, including how they explicitly signal entering and exiting the negotiation process using expressions like kinda, as well as how misinformation and hyperpartisanship spread. As an MA student in Linguistics, Allison is also completing a thesis: this aims to unify embedded and unembedded rising declaratives by proposing a strategy-based account.

Congratulations, Professor Nguyen!
