April 17, 2026

The LAII offers competitive PhD Fellowship awards to support doctoral students conducting dissertation research and writing related to Latin America and Iberia. 

Meet PhD fellow, Ivette Gonzalez. Ivette is a PhD student in the Linguistics department. Her project is titled: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Pa Ipai Grammar. Ivette notes that “The LAII PhD Fellowship has supported my ongoing work on the grammatical analysis of the Pa Ipai language. This research grew out of sustained collaboration with Pa Ipai speakers in documenting their language and supporting its continuity. The fellowship has made it possible to continue this work through field-based research, contributing to a richer understanding of the language while supporting both linguistic scholarship and local revitalization efforts.”
