My name is Benjamin 'Ben' Chung (he/him), and I am a linguist who works with Indigenous communities on language revitalization and documentation initiatives. I myself am non-Indigenous and come from a mixed Korean & Ashkenazi Jewish background.

I am currently an MA student in Linguistics (thesis-based) at Simon Fraser University (SFU).

I graduated from the University of British Columbia (UBC) in 2020 with a BA in First Nations & Endangered Languages and Linguistics.

My academic and professional work has included curriculum development, in-community trainings and workshops, and elicitation and language gathering with speakers in what is now known as the province of British Columbia.

I am interested in syntactic and morphological variation in under-documented and endangered languages. Additionally, I research how dialectal differences are perceived and measured by speakers (i.e., perceptual dialectology) in these speech communities.
