MARGUERITE Morlan

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Romance Linguistics at the University of California, Berkeley. My research explores language attitudes and ideologies in the Catalan Countries. I employ mixed-methods approaches from a variety of sociolinguistic vantage points, including linguistic landscape studies, language attitudes experiments and surveys, semi-structured interviews, phonaesthetic perception experiments, and moral decision-making tasks. A common thread across my research projects is a curiosity about how multilingual individuals leverage language choice to index different aspects of identity. 

I have also served as an organizer of the Sociolinguistics Lab at Berkeley (SLaB), a mentor for undergraduate research projects, an Associate Instructor of undergraduate courses, and an editor of Lucero, the academic journal of the Department of Spanish & Portuguese at UC Berkeley.
