Lecturer Ph.D. 2013, Utrecht UniversityMy teaching broadly focuses on two areas. The first is the relationship between language and society. My courses in Sociolinguistics, Language & Identity, and Language & Gender explore how language structure and variation are patterned with respect to various dimensions of social structure, including how language participates in the performance and construction of identity, social meaning-making, and indexicality. The second area is the intersection of language, learning, and culture. My courses in Bilingualism & Language Acquisition, Language Learning & Teaching, and Translation & Interpreting cover theories and empirical findings about language acquisition, cognitive aspects of multilingualism, translation theories and practices, and situate these topics across languages and cultures.
