Short presentation

After studying linguistics and working for over a decade as a language teacher in the UK, India and Sweden, I moved to Sweden in 2014. In 2025 I defended my doctoral thesis in the field of Curriculum Studies and Multilingualism. I have a broad interest in issues relating to parenthood in migration, language and social justice, and factors impacting language use in migration contexts. My first book, Swedish for Parents, was published in 2019 by LYS Förlag.

Research

My research focus is on the Swedish open preschool, where parents and children aged 0-6 years attend together. I research into adult immigrant language education within the open preschool, with a particular focus on the strategies educators use to work with bilingual and plurilingual visitors.
