Dr. Laura Colombo named assistant researcher at CONCEIT
LLC Graduate earns important research position in Argentina
Dr. Laura (Violeta) Colombo ’11, was named assistant researcher at the National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET), the main organization in charge of the promotion of Science and Technology in Argentina. The CONCEIT ranks among the world’s 80 most important institutions in terms of scientific production.
This is an important achievement since only 30% of the applicants for the position made it in the Humanities and Social Sciences area.
Dr. Colombo’s workplace is at the Linguistics Institute of the University of Buenos Aires, and she is part of an interdisciplinary research group that comprises biologists, educators, linguists, psychologists, and a Math teacher. The group studies the relationships between teaching, learning, reading and writing in different disciplines at the secondary, higher education and postgraduate levels.
Dr. Colombo’s research is centered on the use of writing groups as a pedagogical tool to improve the teaching and learning of academic writing at the graduate level.
Congratulations dear Violeta!
