Keynotes
Primary Keynote (abstract)
Prof. Gigi Luk (she/her)
Dr. Luk is an Associate Professor in the Department of Educational and Counselling Psychology at McGill University. She obtained her Ph.D. in Cognitive Psychology from York University and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Rotman Research Institute at the Baycrest Center before joining the Harvard Graduate School of Education as her first faculty position. Her research focuses on the cognitive and neural consequences of multilingualism across the lifespan. She uses a wide range of methods in her research, including MRI, behavioral assessments, and large educational data. She is particularly interested in how language diversity intersects with learning in education settings among multilingual students.
