Prof. Ellen Bialystok is a psychologist who studies the bilingual brain. Her work traces the development of the brain from infancy to old age, looking at the effect of bilingualism on our ability to pay attention to things. Her work has tremendous implications for public policy in an age of increasing immigration and increasing xenophobia.
Hosted by Cameron Graham, Professor of Accounting at York University, and produced by Bertland Imai of York’s Learning Technology Services.
