As a sociolinguist and linguistic anthropologist, I draw on theories and knowledge from linguistics, anthropology, psychology, and neurosciences to study the nexus of discourse, identity, and ideology.
My current research and teaching focus on the discourse and application of mindfulness in Higher Education. Learn about our RCT Mindfulness intervention for research postgraduate students in Macau and Hong Kong (2025), and current events at the Mindfulness Research & Teaching Group at UM.
