Xuetong Yuan successfully defended her doctoral dissertation titled Conditions on Conditionals: Evaluativity, Discourse Sensitivity, and Conditionals without if on September 27th.

Since then, Xuetong has been busy moving to Chicago, where she will be a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Chicago. At the University of Chicago she is also joining another recent UConn linguistics alum and classmate, Si Kai Lee, who recently started his position as a postdoctoral syntax instructor there.

Congratulations, Xuetong! And belated congratulations to Si Kai!
