I am a socio/applied linguist interested primarily in the sociopolitical aspects of language learning and teaching, especially as they pertain to English, vernacular languages, globalization, language policies, teacher education, pedagogies, and literacy practices. I am also interested in the languaging of "bodies" and "disabilities" (especially Alzheimer's disease and chronic ailments) and in the narrating and constructing of a "self" both through speech and writing. Most recently I have been involved in issues around the construction of national identities and the roles of language and silence in historiography.
