The LSA is pleased to announce that LSA Member Diane Brentari has been awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship for 2020. Guggenheim Fellowships are intended for individuals who have already demonstrated exceptional capacity for productive scholarship or exceptional creative ability in the arts.

"Brentari's foundational work over the course of her career on the structures that occur in the sign languages of deaf communities has guided her recent investigations of language emergence." 

Diane Brentari has been a member of LSA since 1987.
