Her research combines ethnographic studies with ethnomethodological conversational analysis to investigate children’s everyday lives, peer language practices and language socialization across culturally diverse settings. Recent papers explore how children accomplish identities-in-interaction (gender, class, ethnicity, disability); multilingual practices and; the moral character of affect and stance in both child and adult controlled contexts (Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties, Journal of Pragmatics, Linguistics and Education, Research on Language and Social Interaction, Routledge Handbook of Language and Identity).
