Randi E. Tucker


Currently I am in my second year of the Ph.D. program in Linguistics at University at Buffalo, The State University of New York. For 2010 I worked as a Research Assistant to Dr. Juergen Bohnemeyer on the MesoSpace Project. In July we submitted a proposal for the expansion of the project, which I hope to work on in continued exploration of spatial cognition.
