Bio

Candice Guerbeau is a Ph.D. candidate in LCAL's Applied Linguistics & Second Language Acquisition (ALSLA) doctoral program at Carnegie Mellon University. Originally from Lille, France, she moved to the United States in 2021 after being selected for a Fulbright scholarship (FLTA) to teach at Susquehanna University in Selinsgrove, Penn. Before moving, she earned a B.A. in Political and Social Sciences and a M.A. in Communication at Sciences Po Lille, as well as another M.A. in Sociology at the University of Lille.

She is a teacher of French as a second/foreign language (L2), which directly connects with her research interests. Her current research focuses on gender-inclusive strategies and practices in the French language and in the L2 French classroom, aiming to promote social and gender justice in second language learning and beyond.
