His research interests explore communication, meaning-making and complex social semiotics in multilingual contexts.

He has edited four books on indigenous languages, literacies, pedagogies of revitalization and ethnography. His research appears in Writing & Pedagogy, Journal of Multilingual & Multicultural Development, The Canadian Modern Language Review, Language Awareness, and edited volumes.

Autoethnography has been defined as a postcolonial genre that allows the powerless to talk back. Authors from wide ranging communities in this collection speak against diverse silencing forces in contemporary geopolitics. Beneath the deceptive simplicity of their stories is a complex theorization from new materialism, affect studies, and southern theories to amplify this genre as a heuristics of the heart. * Suresh Canagarajah, Pennsylvania State University, USA * This volume presents a rich collection of autoethnographic stories that delve into the diverse experiences of language researchers and teachers. Highlighting the human side of their journeys, these narratives offer unique insights and profound reflections that push the field of applied linguistics in new and important directions. * Nelson Flores, University of Pennsylvania, USA * We needed a book like this. The writing is stunning, the ideas transformative. Intensely personal and disarmingly honest, it will make you feel and think deeply. A must-read, it sets a new standard in autoethnographic research in applied linguistics. * Lourdes Ortega, Georgetown University, USA *
