Wadas defends Research Honors Thesis

Megan Wadas - Ohio State - Undergraduate Research Honors Thesis Defense Spring 2020

Congratulations to Megan Wadas on the successful defense of her Undergraduate Research Honors Thesis - Stereotypes and Language Attitudes: Examining the Perception of German as “Harsh".

The thesis investigated laypeople's perceptions of the German language. An experiment was done that asked groups of participants to rate how they think about German stereotypes as well as rate language samples of German on how aesthetically pleasing they found the language.

This coming fall, Megan will start her graduate studies at Penn State in the German and Language Science PhD program. We wish her all the best!
