Debra Titone (Dept. of Psychology) and Gigi Luk (Dept. of Educational and Counselling Psychology)

We live in an increasingly connected world where cultures, identities, and languages overlap - at home, at school, and in the workplace. This is especially true in a place such as Montreal, where you can hear French, English, and a multitude of other languages as you walk along the streets. Have you ever wondered what makes someone bilingual? And is bilingualism a choice? Join our speakers Prof. Debra Titone and Assoc. Prof. Gigi Luk in a conversation about learning, using, and living with multiple languages.

Mini-Science 2022: The Brain 鈥� Frontiers in Neuroscience

Exciting presentations by some of 91滴滴's leading neuroscientists about the brain, the mind and the neuroscience of living as we now understand it. Find out how the brain and memory changes as we age, or how the bilingual brain functions, and how remarkably emotional our brains are.

All talks are in English.
