Make plans to come hear Andrea Echelberger in the livestream of “Your Brain on Accents: The Impact of Accent Bias and Discrimination in the U.S.” on Feb. 9 at 2:30 p.m. in A. Lincoln Commons!

In 2004, Echelberger began a two-year AmeriCorps position in St. Paul teaching adult refugees and immigrants English, and she’s never looked back. Throughout her teaching career, she has worked with a wide variety of cultural backgrounds and language levels, and while she’s loved every class that she’s taught, literacy level learners are her favorite group to teach. From her experience and research, Andrea will share on how accent bias impacts our society.
