SYNC is an annual linguistics conference that serves as a platform for graduate students from Stony Brook, Yale, NYU, and CUNY to disseminate research results, exchange ideas, and more broadly, foster a sense of community. SYNC is now in its 22nd iteration. The conference allows for graduate students of the four participating universities to present original research to their colleagues in an open and inviting setting. SYNC has always welcomed talks from both the theoretical and applied areas of linguistics, showcasing the diverse interests of graduate students in the area.

This year’s SYNC conference will be held on Saturday, December 4th, 2021 by the CUNY Graduate Center. Due to space limitations and health/safety protocols, this year’s conference will be virtual.

Our keynote speaker this year is Prof. Kyle Gorman (The Graduate Center).
