An Assistant Professor in the Department of Integrated Studies in Education (DISE) at McGill University. His work aims to create a sociology of literacy that provides insights into cultural, political, and power-relational dimensions of linguistic and textual practices. He mobilizes discourse analysis, ethnography, practitioner research, narrative inquiry, and arts-based inquiry to study the sociological dimensions of reading, writing, and language education. He is particularly interested in learning about the experiences of minoritized and racialized students in multicultural and multilingual contexts. He studies organic writing practices that occur beyond the current narrow institutional categorizations of writing styles, genres, and rhetorical norms. He seeks to learn from literacy practices that are unofficial, underground, community-based, plurilingual, and multi-semiotic. He also welcomes opportunities to study non-Western forms of language and literacy education. His research is often interdisciplinary. In his scholarship, he draws on philosophy, sociology, history, and literary theory. Where applicable, he makes use of creative academic genres such as poetic scholarship.
