Research on Tap: On Language and Being Human

How do the words we choose, and the ways we use them, help us understand our world—especially as it changes rapidly around us? This Research on Tap event will bring together BU faculty from across the university to explore how language influences how we communicate, learn, connect, advocate, and find meaning. Their research will highlight how language shapes everything from childhood development to political debate, and how it reflects and redefines what it means to be human.

Featuring BU Wheelock's Naomi Caselli and Christina Dobbs.

When 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm on 11 February 2026
