About
I am an applied linguist and a linguistic anthropologist. My research examines the social and cultural patterning of language and literacy development in communities whose members use multiple languages and participate in multiple schooling traditions.
I have worked in multilingual communities in northern Cameroon since 1992. Since coming to OSU I have begun work in the Somali community in Columbus. I am interested in how participation in Qur’anic schooling shapes children as participants in public schooling and as learners of second languages and literacies.
