Emeritus Professor Barbara May Bernhardt from UBC, Canada has supported researchers across the world to undertake research into children's speech development (see https://speakingmylanguages.blogspot.com/2013/08/international-meeting-about-speech.html). Consequently, she is a co-author on numerous chapters in The Oxford Handbook of Speech Development in Languages of the World. We met yesterday to discuss her contribution, and also some more ideas of how we can continue to collaborate on committees and at conferences. She is a wonderful colleague.
