In a place like Tucson, where diverse cultures and languages intersect every day, bilingualism isn’t just common—it’s a powerful asset. In this talk, Dr. Genesis Arizmendi will explore how being bilingual shapes how we think, communicate, and connect within our communities. Drawing from the latest research, learn how bilingualism enhances cognitive flexibility, fosters cultural understanding, and strengthens social ties.
Whether you speak one language or five, understanding and appreciating bilingual communication enriches our collective perspective, strengthens community ties, and highlights the linguistic wealth we all share. By exploring these dynamics, we can all better understand how language, in any form, connects us and strengthens our communities.
All lectures are free and open to the public. Please RSVP.
Doors open at Centennial Hall at 6:15 p.m.
