About me

I started my academic journey at the University of Stirling in September 2022. I am involved in teaching across both our online and on-campus MSc TESOL programmes. I coordinate the modules Research Methods in TESOL, Language, Discourse and Society, Teaching Language to Young Learners, and Microteaching. Prior to this, I held positions at the Universities of Birmingham and Nottingham, where I contributed to teaching and supervised dissertations in the MSc TESOL programmes.

My research experience and work are centred in the field of Sociolinguistics and Linguistic Ethnography, which allows me to examine the use of language in its social and cultural contexts. Given my view of language as a resource and as a socially situated practice to examine social issues, my primary research orientation leans towards interpretivist approaches and qualitative research designs.
