I had a blast talking to Dr. Christina Keppie in this final episode of The Podling's first season! She gives us her linguistic origin story within a study abroad trip to Belgium and we hear about her fascinating new Linguistics & Canadian-American Studies course on the Acadian diaspora — a community she'd learned about on that very study abroad trip. Plus, Christina shares her experiences with teaching French language and linguistics as a Canadian Francophone.
