Congratulations, Za’Nya!

The EDLD Lab would like to congratulate our undergraduate student, Za’Nya Lyons who was recently awarded UO’s Latinx Studies Experiential Learning Fellowship! This fellowship provides a paid opportunity to work on a supervised research project in any discipline related to Latinx Studies. Za’Nya is researching how preschool-aged children from Spanish-speaking homes code-switch between Spanish and English with their parents. This important study extends a prior master’s thesis completed by Alyssa Rodríguez, who analyzed the code-switching behavior of the parents. With Za’Nya’s study we will be able to understand if and how children’s code-switching patterns match their parents’ code-switching patterns. Congratulations again Za’Nya!
