I am a Ph.D. candidate in Language and Literacy Education with teaching and research experience across China, the United States, and Canada. My research focuses on multilingual and multicultural education, particularly with children and families from disadvantaged backgrounds. My doctoral study examines family language policy, deterritorialization, and the intersections of social class and rural–urban labour migration in China. My broader teaching and research interests include digital literacies, multimodality, and qualitative methodologies in the Global South.
