Half way through the dissertation project

My ongoing research on bilingualism among very young children has been formally evaluated by colleagues at the Child Studies Department at the Linköping University, my academic advisors Asta Cekaite and Amanda Bateman, and two external reviewers, Prof. Nigel Musk and Prof. Polly Björk-Willén. Their insights and reflections will help me shape and further develop my work, which I want to acknowledge and thank them for.
