Curriculum Vita
As a sociologist of teaching and learning my primary focus is on qualitative micro-level analyses: educational interactions that happen between individuals and the different intercultural contexts in which those interactions arise. I consider myself a translational researcher, producing research that reaches the people of which it is intended in a practical way and contributes to improving their life experiences or professional practice.
