Design, digital technology, and language education
I investigate how design principles and practices can contribute to the creation, analysis, and transformation of digitally mediated language teaching and learning experiences.

research
My research examines the relationships between language, design, and digital technologies in educational contexts. I am particularly interested in understanding how digital artifacts, platforms, and systems transform practices of teaching, learning, authorship, and participation. My work is organised around three interconnected research areas:
Artificial intelligence, critical literacy, and justice
I study the use of artificial intelligence in language education, with particular attention to questions of access, agency, inclusion, power, and responsibility. This area also explores how teachers and learners can develop critical and ethical forms of participation in AI-mediated environments.
Teacher education and learning design
I conduct research on teacher education, pedagogical planning, and the design of learning experiences, considering the relationships between theory, practice, creation, and critical reflection.
