Inflectional affixes expressing the same grammatical category (e.g., subject agreement) tend to appear in the same morphological position in the word.

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission called on the social work profession to engage in the decolonization of social work structures and processes, including how it educates…

Understanding the impact of undergraduate research experiences (UREs) and course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) is crucial as universities debate the value of allocating scarce resources to these activities. We report on the Berkeley Undergraduate Research Evaluation Tools (BURET), designed to assess the learning outcomes of UREs…
