In our first episode of The Design of Return podcast, we explore what it means to have two languages in one mind, and what can we learn from the way the bilingual brain explores, understands, and processes the world.
I interview Doctor Alicia Luque, a neurolinguist who specializes in the bilingual brain.
Our interview took place before the American presidential election, while in the midst of the first wave of pandemic lockdown and as Alicia was about to return to Europe and move to the Arctic University of Tromsø in Norway after a decade in the United States.
In our time together, Alicia shares incredible insights about how the bilingual brain works, the bias we have, and her own experience as a bilingual, both as a Spanish born expat to the United States and Norway and a queer woman having to design a new language for herself.
I also interviewed my parents about why they decided to give me and my brother an Italian and English bilingual upbringing and how it was all inspired by an Emily Dickinson Poem.
