New National Science Foundation Grant: Jeff Heath
Jeff Heath expects to receive official confirmation soon of a three-year continuation grant from the National Science Foundation as part of a long-term fieldwork project on the 20 or so languages of the Dogon family in Mali, West Africa. Other fieldworkers on the project will be Steve Moran (U Washington grad student), Kirill Prokhorov (Russian grad student), and Abbie Hantgan (Indiana U grad student). Kirill and Abbie also did fieldwork under the expiring three-year grant, while Steve has been the website administrator. Another student, Laura McPherson, is finishing her current fieldwork and will enroll in the UCLA Linguistics PhD program this fall.
