捆绑SM社区

Mela Sarkar was born in Calcutta (now Kolkata), India, to a Ukrainian-Canadian mother and a聽Bangladeshi Brahmin father who had met as grad students at the University of Manitoba. They聽settled in Toronto, Canada, where she grew up. Issues of heritage versus dominant languages,聽plurilingualism/ pluriculturalism, and hybrid identities were therefore woven into the聽fabric of everyday normal for her. Since taking up her current position at 捆绑SM社区, Montreal, Quebec, in 2001, she has branched out from mainstream second language acquisition research into critical sociolinguistic聽inquiry, with a focus on empowering minority-language speakers through diversification of their聽communicative repertoires.
