On Wednesday, I was appointed as the 2023-2024 Lipitz Distinguished Professor in the Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences at University of Maryland Baltimore County! Established by the Roger C. Lipitz and the Lipitz Family Foundation, the fellowship is intended “to recognize and support innovative and distinguished teaching and/or research in the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences.” I am humbled by the honor and so grateful for the support of my nominees and colleagues — and it was delightful to receive the award from Kimberly R. Moffitt, who is not only our dean but also a faculty colleague with me in the Language, Literacy & Culture Program. I’ll be taking this year to move my research forward, especially my two current collaborative NSF funded projects at the intersection of language, culture, technology, and society — and I’ll be looking forward to sharing about our work with my colleagues at UMBC next spring!
Christine Mallinson, Ph.D. 
Congratulations, Christine! 👏👏👏
