My research focuses education policy in low- and middle- income countries, particularly focusing on language policies and learning in the early years of formal school. I am particularly interested in the multi-dimensional set of factors that influence both policy decisions and their implementation. I am also interested in quantitative research methods, and educational measurement, specifically focusing on literacy acquisition in non-dominant languages. Other research intrests include language learning and recognition in the USA, public-private partnerships in education, and youth cultural competencies.
