I am an applied sociolinguist and discourse analyst specializing in language policy and language education. Broadly speaking, much of my work focuses on authority in language, both within institutions (e.g. nation-states) and in less structured, community settings. Have a look at my book Language Policy in Action (Cambridge University Press). I have also studied other phenomena related to language and globalization, in particular teacher migration and inequality in contemporary ELT/TESOL. I have also done research in digital discourse, linguistic landscape and different topics in language education. My work has been published in various major journals, including Language Policy, TESOL Quarterly, Language in Society, ELT Journal, Current Issues in Language Planning, Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development and Critical Discourse Studies. Additionally, I have authored chapters in edited collections published by Routledge, Palgrave MacMillan, Edward Elgar and others. Here is a full list of my publications.

In my current position, I also teach across a variety of different courses at both undergraduate and graduate level, including applied linguistics, sociolinguistics, discourse analysis, intercultural communication, language pedagogy, research methods, as well as language skills classes in academic reading and writing. I also advise graduate students at both the Masters and PhD levels.

I am presently an Associate Editor of the journal Language Policy while also serving on the editorial boards of TESOL Quarterly, Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, Pasaa and Reflections.
