LAGB Prize for the Best Student Presentation at ULAB

The LAGB has been proud to support the Undergraduate Linguistics Association of Britain (ULAB) conference since 2016, and since 2017 has sponsored a prize for the best presentation at ULAB as selected by ULAB attendees.

The prize consists of free LAGB membership for a year and the opportunity to attend and present the research at the following LAGB Annual Meeting with full funding, as well as the option to receive coaching and advice in presenting at academic conferences with a member of the LAGB committee.

We are currently awaiting the results following ULAB 2019 at Queen Mary University of London.
