Alichia Crandall and Renaysha Goodebailey graduated from MSU last semester. For her senior thesis, Alichia analyzed a dataset from a rapid and anonymous survey of people's responses to being thanked (you're welcome vs no problem vs others), modeled on an activity originated by Dr. Aaron Dinkin of San Diego State University. Renaysha collected word list data from friends and family in her home city of Pittsburgh, to investigate the progress of /u/-fronting in the African American community there. Renaysha's work follows up on research by Dr. Maeve Eberhardt of the University of Vermont. And congratulations to freshman Socio Lab member Jared Kaczor, who is an MSU Citizen Scholar, and who made the Dean's List last semester! Jared is working this semester with Savannah Feeley on a project run by Irina Zaykovskaya, investigating non-native English speakers' acquisition of vernacular 'like'. 51 Citizen Scholars made the Dean's List for Fall 2017! Congrats to all of our students on their hard work last semester! pic.twitter.com/GDjLz7fuLT— MSU Citizen Scholars (@MSUCitScholars) January 18, 2018
