Dr. Judith Kroll, Distinguished Professor of Psychology, Linguistics and Women’s Studies and director of Penn State’s Center for Language Science, was named a 2013-14 Guggenheim Fellow.
Kroll is among a diverse group of 175 artists, scientists and scholars selected this year from nearly 3,000 applicants across the United States and Canada. According to the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, Fellows are chosen on the basis of achievement and exceptional promise. This year's Guggenheim Fellows represent 56 disciplines from 85 different academic institutions.
A renowned psycholinguist and worldwide leader in the field of bilingualism and second-language acquisition, Kroll has developed a foundational theoretical model of how language is represented cognitively. In 2012 she was named a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, for “distinguished contributions to the fields of psychology, particularly psycholinguistic models of bilingualism, and for support and mentoring of women in science.”
