Over lunch last week, idly discussing curriculum and what we were all doing, when I mentioned that Social-Cognitive Psychology would be starting a unit on language, a French teacher got very excited and began telling me about linguistics classes that she had. I asked if she’d be willing to give an introduction to the field of linguistics to our psych classes — and I’m thankful for her acceptance of the invitation. Cyndi Robertson came to all three sections and spoke to each for 5- to 10-minutes; it was a perfect introduction — told with great energy and enthusiasm.
