Biography
I am a sociolinguist based in France. I currently hold positions as Junior Lecturer in English at the École Normale Supérieure de Lyon and Researcher in Interactions, Corpus, Learning & Representations (laboratoire ICAR). Previously, I have held teaching and research posts at the Université de Fribourg (CH), the École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Strasbourg and the University of Strasbourg, where I am also an affiliate researcher in Language and Society. I received my PhD from the University of Strasbourg in cooperation with the University of Glasgow in September 2024.
My work sits at the intersection of social semiotics and urban sociolinguistics, focusing broadly on multilingualism in the Linguistic Landscape of Paris, as well as on mediatized, English-language discourse about Paris and France. I have also conducted research in French and Anglophone contexts on bilingualism and cognitive handicaps, on the status of minority languages in Alsace and on the language attitudes of L2 English speakers toward non-standard varieties of English.
As a researcher who regularly engages with dynamic visual content, I am also an advocate for revitalizing how data is visualized in academic settings. My interest in design, urbanism and Linguistic Landscape has been fostered significantly through my work at the École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture in Strasbourg, France, where I served as Head of Languages from 2020-2024.
