From 5 to 7 November, Prof. Susan Goldin-Meadow from the University of Chicago visited the IDGS. She brings together invaluable knowledge on language, gesture, home sign systems and visual learning research. She has conducted numerous studies on how people combine linguistic and gestural aspects of communication in a multimodal way and how, for example, children can benefit from this. Staff and students had the opportunity to talk directly to her and present projects. The insightful conversations went far beyond scientific topics. Thank you for an inspiring visit.
