Welcome to EdUHK. I am currently Associate Dean of the Graduate School and Director of the RPg Programme. I would be happy to hear from you at any time regarding any matter related to your study. I would be happy to also discuss matters related to your research more specifically. My areas of interest include teacher identity and language teacher education. I have also taught numerous research methods courses over a number of years. Please reach out to me if you would like to talk about any of these areas.
I have published research in a range of international journals. I was included in the top 2% in the Stanford University list of the most cited researchers in 2020. I am especially interested in working with RPg students as they begin their publication journey. Some examples of recent publications with my RPg students are:
