Career Paths Panel

Dr. Lindsay Hracs received her PhD in Linguistics in 2021. Her dissertation used computational modelling to study input and exposure in the acquisition of information structure. After finishing her PhD, Lindsay completed a postdoctoral fellowship in the Cumming School of Medicine at the University of Calgary. Her current position as Data Science Lead in the Kaplan Global Epidemiology Lab has allowed her research program to extend beyond the study of input in language acquisition to the field of epidemiology where she uses machine learning and natural language processing to support research on inflammatory bowel disease. Lindsay’s current work also includes the study of semantics and visual information processing in relation to data visualization.

Dr. Joey Windsor received his Linguistics PhD in 2017 for his work on the phonology-syntax interface drawing on data from Irish and Blackfoot, and he completed a postdoctoral fellowship in Medicine and Community Health Sciences in 2020. He currently works as the Knowledge Translator for the Kaplan Global Epidemiology Lab where he works on making scientific knowledge about chronic immune-mediated inflammatory diseases accessible to public audiences. He is the Chief Editor of three national reports on the Impact of Inflammatory Bowel Disease, including the impact of COVID-19 on Inflammatory Bowel Disease. He is also the President of the Language Creation Society and is currently co-editing the Palgrave Handbook on Constructed Languages.
