Dr. James Pennebaker, an expert in the computational analysis of language, recently visited Northwestern from the University of Texas-Austin.

Our graduate students had the opportunity to take a workshop on language analysis with him and attend an intimate breakfast, sponsored by the DevSci Cluster, filled with lots of informative discussion. Dr. Pennebaker spoke with students about different analytic approaches for examining language profiles, the importance of cross-discipline collaboration, and discussed his own personal career trajectory. Our students are excited to implement these new strategies into our work in the NDL!
