Overview
Research
My research focuses on nationalism, cultural identity, political ideologies, and language. In particular, I am interested in the relation between national culture and social cohesion; how national identities interact with liberalism, conservatism and social democracy; and how language functions as a vehicle of culture.
Specialization: Nationalism, national identity, applied linguistics, political ideologies, Wittgenstein.
