Welcome
Foundations Fest, October 17-18, 2024, a two-day workshop in honor of Ray Jackendoff: It’s both not exactly the 20th anniversary of his foundational “Foundations of Language” book, and not exactly his 80th birthday, but close enough that we decided to celebrate!
The Center for Cognitive Studies at Tufts University is a research unit that serves as a locus for the graduate and undergraduate interdsciplinary programs in cognitive science, and that provides an administrative home for various research projects in cognitive studies undertaken by the Co-directors and their associates.
