This program is dedicated to collecting and analyzing natural language samples from parent-child interactions, focusing on children with and without Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The graduate assistant\u2019s role will primarily include transcription, coding, and basic analysis of new and existing language samples. They will be trained to use sophisticated coding systems like SALT (Systematic Analysis of Language Transcripts) with the possibility of co-authorship on peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations.

The goal is to analyze how visual and textual media captured the social and emotional textures of migration, intimacy, and belonging in postwar Germany. Project 2 is a theoretical essay developing the concept of atmospheric realism\u2014adapted from art history\u2014to describe a literary mode in which ambience, mood, and perceptual drift take precedence over eventfulness and psychological depth in contemporary fiction.<\/p>\n\n\n
