Joray tells us about the joy of digging into academic papers in their fall semester, and the fun of using the software in the linguistics lab to analyze the trove of interviews they were working with. There was also a kitten.

We’d also like to welcome Avis Corea ’27 to the team. Avis is our new student producer on the podcast, and this is the first episode she’s produced for us. Welcome, Avis!

Reed community members can read Joray’s thesis, “Linguistic Erasure Hertz; a post-binary discussion of F0 performance in read speech,” online in the Electronic Theses Archive.
