Julia Peck is a PhD candidate in Linguistics at UC Berkeley. She primarily works on Ladino language revitalization, as well as the linguistic effects of the language's contact with Turkish and French. Julia holds MPhil in Linguistics from University of Oxford, where she was an Ertegun Scholar in the Humanities. Since coming to Berkeley, she co-founded the UC Berkeley Ladino/Judeo-Spanish Working Group and was awarded a Berkeley Language Center Fellowship to launch Ladino en Kaza (Ladino at Home), a project that supports Ladino learners across the world to bring the language home and into their daily lives.
