Beth’s project “Individual variation in the perception-production link: evidence from phonetic imitation,” with a co-applicant at the University of Ottawa, explores the link between the way an individual produces speech and the way that same individual will perceive others’ speech.

Tamara’s project, “Examining Diverse Perspectives on Inclusion in French Immersion,” with Carleton co-applicant Alexandra Arraiz Matute (Institute of Interdisciplinary Studies) and six collaborators from other institutions, aims to bridge the gap between research and practice in providing equitable access to French immersion in Canadian schools.
