Theresa Austin, professor in the College of Education, and Emma Britton, continuing education instructor in University Without Walls, recently presented research at the Grammar & Text Group of the Linguistics Research Centre of the NOVA University Lisbon (CLUNL) Ninth International Conference on Grammar and Text.
At GRATO 2025, themed "Challenges and Perspectives in Grammar & Text," Austin and Britton presented "Multimodal embodiment: Recognizing socially responsible register in youth civic writing," which drew samples from a large-scale study from 2012-22 in the U.S. conducted by the American Institutes for Research and focused on describing ways that high schools foster deeper learning.
The hybrid conference took place in Lisbon Sept. 11-12.
