BABEL LAB: WHAT ARE WE?

The BABEL Lab at the University of Arizona is directed by Dr. Genesis Arizmendi. The lab serves as a hub for research and exploration at the crossroads of bilingualism, cognition, learning, equity, education, and language. The lab derives its name from the Tower of Babel, an origin myth and parable that explains why the world's peoples speak different languages, and echoes the complexities of human communication and collaboration. Just as the Tower's builders aimed to construct a bridge between earth and sky, our lab endeavors bridging linguistic and cognitive, and theoretical and practical boundaries.

Just as the Tower symbolized a collective effort to transcend barriers, the BABEL lab is committed to unraveling the complexities of bilingualism, cognition, learning, equity, education, and language. We seek to unite diverse perspectives and harness the power of collaboration.

The BABEL lab is dedicated to the ever-evolving pursuit of knowledge, embracing the challenge of uniting diverse languages and perspectives in the pursuit of equitable experiences for all. Join, follow, and learn alongside us! 🧠
