Welcome to my site!

My dissertation titled "Navigating Language Ideologies in a Multilingual Context: Teacher Identities of Deaf Sign Language Instructors in Singapore" was submitted on 22 August 2025. I am currently waiting for examiners' reports.
My research interests include education pedagogy, multilingualism, the politics of language, and linguistic justice.
