Heritage Language Conference

U of T was quite well represented at the recent Conference on Formal Approaches to Heritage Languages, held at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. Marina Sherkina-Lieber, Nelleke Strik (now at Dalhousie), Ana-Teresa Perez-Leroux gave talks and Joanne Markle Lamontagne, Maria Parascandolo (visiting from U Salerno), and Naomi Nagy came along to listen.
Marina wrote in: "I love small conferences with no parallel sessions, focused on a particular topic/area. Chatting during coffee breaks is much more stimulating. I loved having almost all those whom I cited in the audience. This conference was particularly amazing in terms of hospitality. I was picked up from the Amherst Inn by car on both mornings - together with Silvina Montrul and Acrisio Pires. Well, not just "by car" - by Luiz Amaral! Barbara [Pearson] was amazing as an organizer."  I think we all agree about the high level of hospitality!
Here are some other highlights of the weekend.
