Assistant Research Professor, Social / Behavioral Sciences Administration
My research touches on both kinds of topics: it includes language policy, language use, and linguistic and semiotic landscapes. It crosses sociolinguistic and sociocultural boundaries of societal and individual multilingualism and addresses local, national and transnational discourses and ideologies, languages and community contact, and linguistic and cultural diversities. In addition to theoretical, political and historical aspects, I apply these research lenses to models of language learning that integrate multiple sources of exposure to target language and culture in and outside the classroom, including local environments.
