Description

The Toronto Undergraduate Linguistics Conference is an annual conference hosted by the Society of Linguistics Undergraduate Students (SLUGS) at U of T. 

As TULCON enters its 17th year, they look are looking forward to displaying the high quality research efforts of undergraduate linguistics students, domestically and internationally. TULCON is one of the longest running undergraduate linguistics conferences in North America and always attracts a huge audience.

This year's keynote speakers will present on the theme of  African Linguistics.

To avoid limiting the submissions of undergraduate researchers, the yearly theme only applies to keynote speakers. Come ready to hear undergraduate research presented for undergrads, by undergrads! 

New to this year, SLUGS will also be publishing the inaugural edition of the Proceedings of TULCON.
