Sabine Little is a Lecturer in Languages Education at the University of Sheffield, UK. Her research centres around the complexities of notions such as “identity” and “belonging” in the context of multilingual families. Migration, educational experiences, societal pressures and intergenerational differences all feed into how different family members construct their identity, and her research focuses on the languages spoken within the family as a conduit to these constructs. As well as working holistically with families, Sabine is working within formal education contexts to help educators and policy-makers understand underlying complexities of identity and belonging in today’s “super-diverse” society.
