What is the REFLECTIONS online talk series?

Syntactic theory in the generative framework has been developing for the past 75 years. It is time to reflect on its foundations as they bear on the current work, and to discuss outstanding questions which may reveal avenues for future research. To facilitate this, we created an online talk series, where long-standing scholars reflect on their early work from a current perspective, tracing the development of the theory over time. We invite you to participate with us in this exciting process!

REFLECTIONS talks have a 2-hour slot, with a talk lasting around one hour, followed by questions and discussion. Early-career linguists have priority for questions. Partial attendance is, of course, encouraged as well.
