Abstract

I work as an Associate Professor at the School of Education, University of Iceland. My research interests lie in the field of educational linguistics and include plurilingualism and multilingualism, linguistically responsive and plurilingual pedagogies, language policies, heritage and second language education, and linguistic identities. I have participated in local and international research focusing on quality teaching, plurilingualism in education, inclusion of minority students in schools, heritage language communities, second language teaching, and family language policies. My current research project, Plurilingual Pedagogies for Diverse Classrooms, explores how students and teachers can build upon their linguistic repertoires to enhance learning and teaching. My academic work is complemented by my engagement in grassroots organizations, Móðurmál – the Association on Bilingualism and the Forum of Heritage Language Coalitions in Europe. https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5618-5030
