Subject: Open Lecture by Prof. Ellen Bialystok on ''How Bilingualism Changes Minds''

 
We invite you to an open lecture by prof. Ellen Bialystok on "How Bilingualism
Changes Minds" to be held online over Zoom on 21st October at 18:00 (CEST,
convert it to your local time e.g. here:
https://savvytime.com/converter/poland-warsaw-to-ny-new-york-city). This will
be the inaugural lecture of the IAS Invited Lecture Series in Bilingualism and
Multilingualism organised by the Faculty of English and Bilingualism
Matters at Poznań in 2021-22.

ABSTRACT:
All our experiences contribute to the way our minds and brains develop, but
intense experiences have a special role in shaping our cognitive systems. No
experience is more intense than our use of language, so a lifetime of learning
and using two languages has the potential to leave a profound mark on human
cognition. This talk will review evidence from across the lifespan showing how
bilingualism leads to modifications in brain structure and cognitive
processes.
