Charles Perfetti’s research interest is in the cognitive science of language and reading processes.

A reception and announcement of the Jeanne S. Chall Doctoral Student Research Award and Research Grant will follow. Jeanne Chall, who served as a professor at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, was a leading expert in her field. Chall’s seminal work on reading research and instruction influenced scholarship on the teaching of reading in schools and universities throughout the country.
