Don't miss this presentation by Damián Vergara Wilson, Ph.D. from the University of New Mexico.

Dr. Damián Vergara Wilson is Associate Professor of Spanish & Linguistics and the coordinator of the Sabine Ulibarrí Spanish as a Heritage Language Program at the University of New Mexico. His main areas of research and teaching are historical linguistics, sociolinguistics and sociology of language. One of his chief goals is to use these areas of study to support and inform the field of teaching of Spanish as a heritage language, particularly in the Southwest. A second goal is to advance research that examines the utility of usage-based theories of linguistic representation as accounting for language variation and change.
