Caroline Andrews is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Research Fellow at the University of Oxford's Faculty of Linguistics, Philology and Phonetics. Previously, she held a postdoctoral position at the University of Zurich's Department of Comparative Language Science. She completed her doctorate in Linguistics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and a BA in Linguistics at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Her research focuses on understudied languages, particularly in South America and Europe, with a specialization in psycholinguistics, syntax, and cognitive processes. She has been supported by grants including the Fulbright Scholar Award (2023–2024) and an Early Career Research grant from the Leading House for the Latin America region.
Her work examines ergative case processing in Shipibo-Konibo, syntactic memory in sentence processing (via priming and interference paradigms), and switch reference constructions in Peruvian languages. She has also contributed to cross-linguistic studies of Basque and investigated primate cognition's role in event comprehension. Recent publications explore neural correlates of case processing in children and adults, animacy effects in Basque, and comparative visual tracking of event roles in humans and apes.
Key awards include the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship and grants enabling fieldwork in Peru. She has advised on postdoctoral hiring initiatives and collaborates with teams at Oxford and international institutions. Current projects include studies on intergroup relations, linguistic diversity in academic conferences, and multilingual eye-tracking research.
