Biography

My work in second language acquisition takes an interdisciplinary approach to applied sociolinguistics. I do qualitative research on the ideological underpinnings of language use—in particular, exploring how power dynamics affect language learning. My areas of research include: language ideologies, L2 learner identity formation, language policy & planning, bilingualism/multilingualism, heritage language learning, endangered and minority languages, and L2 learners as emergent bilinguals.
