I am Professor of ESL/EFL Teacher Professional Development in the Department of Instructional Systems Technology (IST) in the School of Education, Indiana University. My current research/development interests are in culturally- and linguistically-inclusive online teacher professional development. I continue to focus on projects that focus on the different types of pedagogical and "glocalization" insights that emerge from formal and informal educational experiences of new and experienced second/foreign language teachers. 

​

I usually assume a blended teaching load i.e. I teach face-to-face (on-campus), online and/or hybrid classes (combined on-campus and online classes).
