Research Interests
My research focusses on languages, literacies and communication writ large as they relate to learner identities, educational experiences, and broader social processes (e.g., of inclusion or exclusion). While this research has primarily focused on adolescent immigrant and refugee learners in public K-12 institutions, as well as their families, and teachers, I also explore questions around language access and interpretation in other community and institutional contexts, such as in immigrant-serving community organizations, and in medical settings.
Overarching research foci:
- Multilingualism and learning in school and society
- Intersections of language and literacy, race, ethnicity, gender, and social class
- Qualitative research in applied linguistics: ethnographic methods, discourse analysis, sensory/embodied methods
