I am an applied linguist and a linguistic anthropologist. My research examines the social and cultural patterning of language and literacy development in communities whose members use multiple languages and participate in multiple schooling traditions.

I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Teaching and Learning, a core faculty member of Language, Education, and Society (LES) and Foreign and Second Language Education (FSLED). I teach courses on linguistics, second language acquisition, and language socialization.

In 2009-10 I teach 2 doctoral seminars: 906 Language Socialization and 925.45 Second Language Acquisition (see the Autumn schedule for details).
