Profile
I identify myself as a teacher-researcher. My main interests lie in intercultural teaching and learning. Here are my key research questions: - How do people interact to learn each other's language(s) and culture(s)? - What enables people from different cultures to live together? - How can education contribute to a more inclusive world?
