Interest with research on linguistic minorities
My research addresses everyday negotiations of identity where ethnocultural and racial diversity challenge how members of Francophone minority communities imagine themselves and the world around them. Tensions exist between traditional ideas concerning legitimacy, authenticity, and collective identity, and cosmopolitan views of French as a form of global linguistic capital. Drawing on recent political geography theories of boundaries and identity, I investigate how existing Acadian and Franco-Ontarian identities might be reshaped when faced with cultural others and how pluralistic ideas of inclusion and belonging can be encouraged in smaller cities in Canada.
