In this interview, we hear we hear from R. Mata — he covers his research on the linguistic patterns and attitudes of Spanish-speakers in communities near the U.S.-Mexico border and gives some advice to undergraduate students who might want to pursue their own research. We also talk about how the shift of conferences to virtual spaces has changed the landscape for undergrad students looking to access a variety of academic opportunities.
