Greetings from Program Co-Chairs
Thank you again to those who reviewed proposals and/or conversations. We especially
appreciate that December is a hectic time to complete reviews, and we commend our colleagues
for their commitment to ensuring an excellent program.
As CASEA aims to support the development of junior colleagues, the role of Session Chair was
assigned to graduate students as much as possible. We hope the experience will be insightful and
rewarding. We encourage all colleagues to review the program for both presentations and
chairing when it becomes available.

Labrador, as well as three papers from our BELMAS colleagues. Four bilingual presentations
