Emily Remirez

I finished my PhD in Linguistics at UC Berkeley in May 2024. Using computational modeling and behavioral experiments, I study the role that abstract social categories, built up through interaction, can play in the perception of spoken language.

My co-advisors were Prof Keith Johnson and the University of Kentucky's Prof Kevin B. McGowan. My work will forever be indebted to the inimitable Dr. Susan Lin.

I just completed a Future of Higher Education postdoctoral fellow working with Prof Deb Nolan in Berkeley's College of Computing, Data Science, and Society. My work focused on undergrad research and enrichment experiences.

I'm also interested in the role of visual art in communicating with a broader audience. Check out my 1-page illustrated zine about speech perception or my coloring book about language and linguistics.

Statement of Acknowledgement

This statement was written by UC Berkeley Native American Student Development
We recognize that Berkeley sits on the territory of Huichin, the ancestral and unceded land of the Chochenyo Ohlone, the successors of the historic and sovereign Verona Band of Alameda County. This land was and continues to be of great importance to the Ohlone people. We recognize that every member of the Berkeley community has, and continues to benefit from the use and occupation of this land, since the institution’s founding in 1868. Consistent with our values of community and diversity, we have a responsibility to acknowledge and make visible the university’s relationship to Native peoples. By offering this Land Acknowledgement, we affirm Indigenous sovereignty and will work to hold University of California Berkeley more accountable to the needs of American Indian and Indigenous peoples.
