The Yvonne Becker Colloquium is presented by SFU Linguistics each year to honour our most significant benefactor. In memory of Yvonne's great passion for linguistics, the department selects a speaker to offer a colloquium that is enlightening, cutting-edge, and unique in its perspective.
The Becker Colloquia embody the high quality of research that SFU Linguistics aims to present. As Canada's engaged university, SFU delivers academic and research excellence to harness new ideas and innovations for the benefit of society. SFU Linguistics is a major part of this initiative, with numerous research labs and a thriving graduate program dedicated to interdisciplinarity, breadth in research methodology, and diversity in theoretical perspective.
