My scholarship addresses sociolinguistic, interactional and policy perspectives on second language learning and bilingualism, with particular attention to educational and familial practices impacting language use, language learning and equity. I teach graduate-level courses in sociolinguistics, language policy, language research methods, English grammar, and language education; teach an undergraduate class in linguistics; and I coordinate the undergraduate TESL minor. I currently co-lead a U.S. Department of Education-funded project (via CARLA) which promotes more equitable access to state seals of biliteracy.
