Biography

Gillian Stevens earned her Bachelor and Master degrees from Carleton University in Ottawa and a PhD from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her research interests focus on early language use in bilingual neighborhoods, language acquisition, and the dynamics of language groups. She examines the social and demographic processes that affect people in multilingual families and the ways neighborhoods and societies adapt to the constraints and opportunities presented by multilingual contexts. Currently, Stevens is investigating the predictors of successful language acquisition among Asian immigrants in North America. Additionally, her work uncovers the political and social demographic processes that encourage immigrants in North America to marry native-born Americans and Canadians.
