Research Interests

I am a researcher with a broad range of interests across the humanities and social sciences; my background is in philosophy, languages, linguistics, and education. Most recently, my research has focused on the metaphorical application of ‘investment’ in human skill development, i.e. towards the acquisition and leverage of linguistic capital.

  • Sociolinguistics
  • Psycholinguistics / L2 Motivation
  • Philosophy of Language Education
  • Sociology/anthropology of language learning
  • Non-heritage & settler-descendent learning of indigenous languages
  • L2/AL African language learning in South Africa
