Hi, I am Dušan Nikolić, a PhD student in Linguistics at the University of Calgary under the supervision of Dr. Stephen Winters. I am a recipient of the prestigious Izaak-Walton Killam Award, University of Calgary International Eyes High Award, University of Calgary Open Doctoral Award, and Dositeja Award by Serbian Ministry of Education. I am the president of the UofC’s graduate student association, “A Higher Clause”, and a member of the UofC’s Phonetics Lab.

As for my non-academic activities, I was the host of the spoken word program – Linguistically Aware – which was broadcast once monthly on a local radio station, CJSW 90.9 FM. I am passionate about web-developing, and an ardent sports enthusiast and a huge fan of Partizan and Arsenal. I am a member of the Canadian Association of Slavists, the Canadian Linguistics Association, and the Linguistic Society of America.
