Fascinating conversations and people at ISB14

I love face-to-face conferences for the lunch/coffee break conversations.

Some of the excellent conversations I have had have included with members of our Speech-Language-Multilingualism team and

  • Prof Leah Fabiano-Smith from the University of Pittsburgh  - https://www.shrs.pitt.edu/people/leah-fabiano-smith who works with children who speak Spanish and English
  • A/Prof Carmel O'Shannessy from ANU - https://researchers.anu.edu.au/researchers/o-shannessy-c who is just completing her ARC Future Fellowship working with children who speak Arrente and Warlpiri.
  • Prof Felicity Cox from Macquarie University - https://researchers.mq.edu.au/en/persons/felicity-cox who is working on her ARC Future Fellowship for the project Multicultural Australian English: The New Voice of Sydney and an ARC Discovery project grant for the project Child Language, Community Diversity and the Emergence of Sound Change
