About me
My research primarily focuses on the sociolinguistics of writing in higher education and institutional communication. I am interested in how students and academics engage in writing practices across academic disciplines and languages, how knowledge is constructed and received, and how tools are used to solve writing problems. In addition, I investigate identity constructions and narrative positioning in institutional communication.
I am the coordinator for the Undergraduate Independent Degree Project in English Linguistics. At the advanced level, I regularly teach English for Academic Research and Research Methods in Applied Linguistics. At the undergraduate level, I teach optional modules relating to discourse analysis, sociolinguistics and applied linguistics. I also contribute to teaching on English I and II modules.
