Meghann M. Peace, Ph.D.

Dr. Peace received her Ph.D. in Hispanic Linguistics from the University of Minnesota, and is an Associate Professor of Spanish and Linguistics at St. Mary’s University. Her previous research examined second language Spanish, but since moving to San Antonio she has become interested in heritage language teaching and learning. In particular, she studies the ways in which heritage speakers’ attitudes are affected through studying linguistics, studying abroad, and coming into contact with other dialects. She is especially fond of U.S. Spanish (Spanglish) and gladly defends it any chance she gets.
