My research focuses on the inter-relationships between language and politics, from the macro-levels of policy, national identity and globalization to the micro-levels of text, discourse and interaction.

I am also co-convener of the Migration, Languages and Cultures Working Group, sponsored by the Franklin Humanities Institute, an umbrella research network of students, scholars and practitioners from Duke, NCSU and UNC Chapel Hill.
