I am Lecturer in Intercultural Literacies and Languages in Education, within the School of Education at the University of Glasgow. I work closely with the UNESCO Chair in Refugee Integration through Languages and the Arts at Glasgow. My current research focuses on: issues faced by migrants, asylum seekers and refugees (in particular young people); teaching/learning in situations of protracted crisis; modern languages in education; intercultural communication; critical and engaged pedagogies.
Recently, I have been involved in three projects (two of which as P.I.) with academic partners in Palestine, looking at online language teaching/learning in situations of protracted crisis.
