About Yasmin

Yasmin Cedamanos is a PhD student in Hispanic Linguistics at UNC-Chapel Hill. As a professional engineer in Lima, Peru, Yasmin earned diverse skills that led her to develop experience in learning and continuous improvement processes. Her passion for languages and learning led her to choose the master's program in Spanish, which allowed her to teach Spanish and explore new research topics. Her master's dissertation, “..me gusta mucho el Spanglish, yo siento que me puedo expresar más...,” explored ethnic self-identification and the contact phenomena of Spanish and English in North Carolina. During this process, her interviews with young bilingual descendants of Latin American people living in NC opened the door to the sociolinguistics discipline, which is her main focus during her PhD studies.

In February 2024, she presented part of her master's research at the Spanish Linguistics in the Southeast and Spanish Linguistics in North Carolina conferences.
