<description><p>At the end of February, our Director Dr.Hammerly was invited as a plenary speaker to the Language Sciences Undergraduate Research Conference. This conference run by UBC undergraduates is a celebration of the exciting research done by undergraduates across Canada.</p>
<p>Dr. Hammerly was invited to speak on the various projects being developed at ELF Lab relating to technology&rsquo;s role in language revitalization.</p>
<p>Additionally, our undergraduate RA, Hope Trischuk, gave an oral presentation on her work with ELF lab: Assessing Intuitions about Obviation in Learners of Anishinaabemowin.
For her efforts, she was awarded first place in the Oral Presentation category!</p></description>

 <td><strong>Dr. Christopher Hammerly</strong> is Director of ELF-Lab and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Linguistics at UBC. He is a member (descendent) of the White Earth Nation in Minnesota of mixed Anishinaabe and Norwegian American descent. His work primarily focuses on his ancestral language Anishinaabemowin. He uses a variety of methods to understand the cognitive representations and processes underpinning human knowledge of syntax (sentence structure) and morphology (word structure), including formal theories, fieldwork, computational models, and experimental tasks.</td>

 <td><strong>Anna Stacey</strong> is an MA student at UBC Linguistics, where she works on technological developments for Indigenous languages. She got her BSc in Computer Science and Linguistics from UManitoba in 2022. Anna has been developing software for ELF Lab as an RA for 2+ years, working on code for eye-tracking experiments (VisualWorldTools) and creating tests for the Ojibwe morphological parser (ParserTools). She is also involved in fieldwork on Nɬeʔkepmxcín, a Salish language spoken in the Pacific Northwest. In her free time, she loves heading outside to work on her knowledge of flowers and birds, and making music.</td>
