Meet Zulile from Suriname 🌍
Her research reminds us that language is deeply tied to action and movement — as she beautifully puts it, “It is the do that does the walking.”

We’re delighted to have her in the FLI program! ✨

🌍 Meet Carla Rebelo from São Tomé and Príncipe 🇸🇹
Her research explores how languages, like living organisms, adapt and thrive within their own ecologies — each one evolving in its own unique way.

We’re excited to have her in the FLI program! ✨

🌍 Meet Roque Raquel Salas Rivera from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
Their work celebrates the fluidity of language, comparing it to mythological beings that dance, shift, and carve paths in the air.
