Group comparisons are logical and economical research designs. However, narrowing complex and dynamic experiences to binary levels may unintentionally embed inequitable and unjust inferences.

Drawing on my transdisciplinary research, I will demonstrate the affordances of examining bilingualism and cognition with equity and justice for people in mind.
