Course Description

This discussion-based seminar explores how bilingualism shapes the developing brain, cognitive processes, communication, and cultural identity. Students will engage with research from psychology, linguistics, neuroscience, and anthropology to understand how bilingual experiences differ across individuals, communities, and cultures. Through weekly reflections and student-led discussions, we will examine both foundational theories and contemporary debates, including the bilingual advantage, code-switching, gesture, neuroplasticity, language socialization, bilingualism in autism, and sociopolitical dimensions of bilingualism.
