Julie Boland investigates language processing from an interdisciplinary perspective. Her research focuses on interfaces of word recognition, syntactic processing, and semantic processing. She is interested in questions about how syntactic knowledge is stored and accessed, how real world knowledge and linguistic knowledge are integrated, and how sociolinguistic cues contribute to the recovery of meaning in language comprehension. Her current research encompasses the processing and representation of grammatical variation in dialects, the grammatical representation and processing in bilinguals, and the interface of language processing with executive functions. Alongside her research, she regularly teaches courses related to psychology, including research methods and psychology of language. Boland has supervised multiple PhD dissertations at the University of Michigan and has published widely in her field, contributing to discussions on psycholinguistics and language processing.
