Congratulations to Dr. Stefan Dollinger for garnering UBC's Killam Faculty Research Prize

Dr. Stefan Dollinger
April 22, 2024

Language Sciences is delighted to share the joy of Dr. Stefan Dollinger's recent win of the UBC Killam Faculty Research Prize. Dr. Dollinger is dedicated in the study of the construction of languages and language varieties – in which he believes we all have a stake. His recent works revolve a lot around non-dominant varieties, such as Canadian English and Austrian German. In recent years, he has "engaged in highly sensitive conversations on lingering disciplinary presuppositions that are rooted in nationalism and colonialism, while flagging the hegemonic forces of big data methods in sociolinguistics and dialectology". Read our in-depth conversation with Dr. Dollinger on his research here. 

Congratulations Dr. Dollinger!
