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.

About Research on Tap
The Research on Tap series, sponsored by the BU Office of Research, brings together groups of BU researchers around important topics. At each event, 10-12 researchers present a maximum of four slides and deliver a four-minute “elevator pitch” of their work. Research on Tap events are open to faculty, staff, postdocs, and graduate students. Each presentation is followed by refreshments and lively discussion with colleagues and potential collaborators.
