Research interests

My research interests include language and identity; language and social justice; educational linguistics; participatory methods; language and social class; language and migration; multilingualism; language and adolescence; participatory media; and participatory podcasting.

I'm PI of the current AHRC-funded project 'My Voice, My Glasgow', which uses participatory podcasting to explore young people's linguistic identities, and to advocate for linguistic equity in education.

I specialise in public engagement, and make the award-winning linguistics podcast Accentricity, which aims to narrow the gap between academic knowledge about language and people’s everyday linguistic experiences.

I work with the UNESCO team for Refugee Integration through Languages and the Arts. I also lead the University of Glasgow Podcasting Network, and I am a member of the RSE Young Academy of Scotland.
