Yesim Sevinc is an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Amsterdam. She obtained her PhD in Interdisciplinary Linguistics from the Center for Multilingualism in Society across the Lifespan (MultiLing) at the University of Oslo. Her research interests primarily focus on Multilingual Language Acquisition, examining the linguistic, social, psychological, pedagogical, and physiological aspects of multilingualism, especially in minority contexts. She employs an interdisciplinary approach to investigate various factors influencing multilinguals' daily lives, including language use practices, emotional resilience, and identity-based anxiety. Sevinc's recent publications discuss themes such as multilingualism in family domains, edited works in prestigious journals, and chapters addressing social affective factors in language maintenance. She is also the co-coordinator and founder of the ACLC research group, focusing on the intersection of language, emotion, and well-being. Her current projects aim to explore the complex link between psychosocial processes and multilingual experiences, particularly how emotional factors influence language use and overall well-being among immigrant multilinguals. She has received multiple scholarships for her innovative research within the field, contributing significantly to our understanding of language acquisition and anxiety in multilingual environments.
