\n
Multilingualism is an interactional experience between an individual and her environment through multiple languages. Research in multilingualism involves multiple disciplines. In this presentation, I will present an overview of my research program in psychology, neuroscience, and education. First, I will illustrate how linguistic diversity in a child\u2019s proximal and distal environment shapes language acquisition. From this interactive perspective, I will show how language development and learning reveal in neuroimaging data among adolescents. Connecting these findings to the broader educational context, I will demonstrate how these findings are related to state-level education data, as well as considerations on conducting language assessments on multilingual children. Finally, I will share how research in multilingualism can benefit from a transdisciplinary perspective by integrating ecologically grounded questions and laboratory-based research approaches.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
During the second hour of the meeting,\u00a0I will have a conversation with students and emerging researchers about professional development, including conducting and disseminating transdisciplinary research and academic publishing.\u00a0If time allows, we will do a quick exercise on dissecting an empirical research paper. This session is expected to be informal. Students and emerging researchers from all levels are welcome to join.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
