Sociolinguist. I graduated in Catalan Philology in 2010 (UB) and earned a PhD in advanced studies on Catalan language and literature in 2017 (UB). My thesis dealt with language practices and the construction of social identities among Catalan and Valencian teens. I am a researcher at CUSC (Research Centre for Sociolinguistics and Communication at UB), and a member of its steering committee. I am a tenure-eligible lecturer at the Department of Catalan Philology and General Linguistics at UB (I teach Sociolinguistics, Language ecology and planning, and Introduction to Linguistics in the Linguistics BA), and assistant professor of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities at the Open University of Catalonia (UOC). My research focus on the sociolinguistics of the youth, on language and immigration, on demolinguistics, and on language policy in the family and in education. I have published on such issues in journals as Treballs de Sociolingüística Catalana, Revista de Llengua i Dret, Language Problems and Language Planning or Journal of Iberian and Latin American Research. I am the editor of Revista de Llengua i Dret, Journal of Language and Law and a member of the steering committee (from 2019) and secretary (from 2022) of the Catalan Society of Sociolinguistics (SoCS), affiliate of the Institute for Catalan Studies- info
