Congratulations are due to Linguistics PhD student Zoe Wai-Man Lam, who won both first place AND the people’s choice award at the UBC-wide “Three-Minute Thesis” competition for her dissertation, “Perception of Lexical Tones by Heritage Speakers of Cantonese.” Her co-supervisors are Dr. Douglas Pulleyblank and Dr. Kathleen Currie Hall. Zoe was in fact the only Humanities student in the final round! You can see her winning performance here. She will be going on to compete at the regional level in April; details are here: http://3mt.grad.ubc.ca/news/final-results-ubc-3mt-2015/. Congratulations and good luck!
