Yulia Bosworth

I am a sociolinguist and a discourse analyst whose work is focused entirely on Quebec and Canada;
I recently earned tenure and promotion to Associate Professor at Binghamton University (Fall 2023) where I was previously an assistant professor (2016-2023);
I have published several peer-reviewed journal articles and given many conference presentations as well as invited public talks at national and international venues. I mainly work on identity and belonging in Quebec, where the French language serves as the primary identity pillar, seeking to demonstrate the crucial role that beliefs about language (attitudes, representations, ideologies), held by the community and expressed in public discourse (esp. journalists, politicians), play in constructing Quebec identity and contribute to the persistent divide between Canada's "two solitudes".
One of my refereed journal articles explaining the reasons behind the highly critical judgment of Justin Trudeau's French by Quebec elites was widely covered in Canada, following a phone interview with the Canadian Press;
I am currently president of the American Council for Quebec Studies (ACQS) and vice president of the Linguistics Association of Canada and the United States (LACUS).
