Senior🎓
Top SchoolElizabeth Pankratz is a Lecturer in Psychology at the University of Edinburgh who teaches statistics and researches how humans learn and generalize language. With a PhD in linguistics and eight years of research and teaching experience across Europe and Canada, she blends psycholinguistics, corpus methods and Bayesian machine learning to study language change and register. She has led experimental and fieldwork projects—from Plains Cree documentation to creating a Conchucos Quechua audio corpus—and published on topics including scalar inference and probabilistic register identification. Known for translating complex quantitative methods into accessible coursework and one-on-one skills support, she routinely develops assessments and lab materials for undergraduate and postgraduate students. Her background in fiber textile arts hints at a tactile, interdisciplinary approach to language data and pedagogy.
