Six projects associated with the Reading + Learning Lab were presented at the Society for Text & Discourse (ST&D) Annual Conference in New York City which occurred July 9-11.
The Society for Text and Discourse is an international society of researchers who investigate all aspects of discourse processing and text analysis.
The purpose of the Society is to consolidate research in discourse processing and to enhance communication among researchers in different disciplines. A second objective of the society is to contribute to the education and professional development of those in the field or entering the field.
