Presentation

Shaun Nolan is a sociolinguist and teacher educator with a PhD in sociolinguistics from the University of Limerick, Ireland, whose work centres on the impacts of visual literacy, multimodality and teacher research literacy in language education. He holds a Docentur and is Associate Professor (Reader) in English and Sociolinguistics at Malmö University, Sweden, and is also a certified upper secondary teacher of English and French in Denmark. His current research examines how visual and multimodal practices can support language learning and critical engagement with misinformation, and how research rich teaching can be developed, particularly in Nordic educational contexts. Nolan has longstanding experience in the sociology of language in French- and English-speaking contexts, which informs his broader perspective on multilingualism and his present work.
