Language shapes everything, from how we think to how we connect and innovate.
Linguists are essential to understanding communication, and to creating ethical, responsible AI. We need more linguists.

final presentation! @reycabreraperez.bsky.social + many ROLE-affiliated authors discuss the importance of cross institutional collabs and open data/open science practices to support ECRs and also improve & aid assessments. But structural support is needed!
Sailee Charlu, @reycabreraperez.bsky.social & Elizabeth Peña show that arts-based multilingual progs can disrupt ideologies underpinning why the overwhelming majority of US students in bilingual lg programs think Spanish isnt for school. students had a more positive, expansive view of Spanish
Afternoon ROLE sessions continue: first, @kellykendro.bsky.social & @reycabreraperez.bsky.social on systematic terminological review as a methodological approach to metaresearch, and Vilani Rajapakse on individual differences in picture naming RTs amongst bilinguals
Dra Elizabeth Buenabad has worked for decades on the education of Indigenous children in the state of Puebla — she highlights the multilingual and multicultural reality of the area across centuries (i can’t keep up the crossling live posting but this talk is 🔥 and plz check out the recording after!)
Será también una oportunidad para reflexionar sobre la diversidad de perfiles multilingües y sus implicaciones para la investigación y la enseñanza de lenguas.
Agradezco la invitación y espero con entusiasmo el intercambio de ideas con la comunidad académica. 🤓
En esta ponencia compartiré evidencia sobre cómo las trayectorias individuales influyen en la adquisición y el uso de múltiples lenguas, con un enfoque comparativo entre el ruso, el español y el inglés.
La próxima semana estaré presentando mi charla titulada “Diferencias individuales en el desarrollo multilingüe: evidencia del ruso, español e inglés” en la UNAM.
Can't wait to see you @savithry.bsky.social real soon 🙌🏼❤️

We had an amazing time presenting at ASHA in D.C.—a room full of Spanish-speaking professionals from diverse backgrounds, and unforgettable energy.

I'm a published poet! 🤩🙌🏼
My piece embrace nuestra cultura explores what it means to live between two languages, two worlds — and the hyphen that holds them together.
Honored to share this during #HispanicHeritageMonth.
