Boston University is an AAU institution with a rich tradition of inclusion and social justice. We are 
proud that we were the first American university to award a PhD to a woman (1877) and that Martin 
Luther King Jr. received his PhD here (1955). The Linguistics Program is committed to the College 
of Arts & Sciences Diversity and Inclusion Strategic Plan (https://www.bu.edu/cas/about/diversity-inclusion/)
 for building a diverse, inclusive, and accessible environment for all. Applications from 
women, minorities, and members of other underrepresented groups are strongly
 encouraged. Recognizing that diversity of experience deepens the intellectual endeavor, we are
 dedicated to increasing the participation of all talented students, including those from 
underrepresented groups, in the study of language, and we are particularly interested in scholars who
 can contribute to the diversity and inclusiveness of the academic community, at BU and beyond, 
through their research, teaching, and service.
