AMC Catchup Sessions

Donuts shaped like the letters AMC

The AMC Catchup Sessions are a series of informal gatherings for historical linguistics researchers at Edinburgh. They are meant as an opportunity to find out what other AMC-linked staff and students are working on, to try out new ideas, discuss data, and more generally, to provide a sense of community.

Sessions are usually led by a member of staff or student who tells us a bit about their current research interests and walks us through and idea, data-set or methodology. The group is invited to comment, propose solutions, find links with their own work, and provide an overall ‘sanity-check’ for the contributor’s project.

To emphasise the social side of the Catchup sessions, we provide something sweet to share at every session. Attendees are encouraged to bring a hot or cold drink.

The organisers are currently Bettelou Los, Lisa Gotthard and Ben Molineaux.
