Research Overview

My research interests include creative approaches to language teaching, language teacher education, individual differences and learner variables, teacher identity, materials development, learning spaces, professionalism and leadership in TESOL, and positive psychology and wellbeing. I am also interested in innovative approaches to qualitative and mixed method research, including: visual research methods (e.g., visual ethnography and photovoice), critical pedagogy and critical demography, narrative inquiry, participatory actions research, and others that incorporate methods from different disciplinary fields. Although my recent research has focused primarily on language teachers, I am interested in research that explores the experiences and perspectives of learners, parents, administrators, materials designers, policymakers, and all other stakeholders in language education.
