Profile
Biography
I am currently co-organising an international academic writing programme for Early Career Researchers in Kenya, funded by the British Academy until 2026, with colleagues at the University of Essex, Kenyatta University and Birkbeck. My research interests centre on the holistic study of multilingualism, from a range of interdisciplinary perspectives (inc. psycholinguistic and sociolinguistic), and in particular how improved awareness and equity of multilingualism across society is essential to social justice, building on my doctoral research on multilingualism in psychotherapy. I also write about the linguistic dimension of researcher reflexivity and the ethics of researching multilingually.
