Dr. Kirsten Rosiers

Kirsten Rosiers is a postdoctoral assistant at Ghent University. Her research in Belgian classrooms is inspired by linguistic ethnographical data collection and analysis and focuses on multilingual data. In her PhD “translanguaging, trend or asset”, she studied how pupils and teachers in primary classrooms engaged interactionally with their linguistic repertoire. For a postdoctoral project at Université Libre de Bruxelles (Between the devil and the deep blue sea) she analysed how teachers reconcile a monolingual policy with a multilingual reality in Brussels secondary education.
