معرفی
Dr. Charlotte Selleck is a Senior Lecturer in Linguistics at the University of the West of England, Bristol, within the Department of ACE – Creative and Cultural Industries. Her academic work bridges sociolinguistics and sociology, with a strong emphasis on language, identity, and social inclusion.
Her research focuses on:
- Sociolinguistics and language ideologies
- Linguistic ethnography and field methods
- Multilingualism, particularly elite and new speaker contexts
- Language and migration, including family language policy
- Minority languages, especially Welsh language revitalization
The analysis of her recent publications reveals a consistent thematic trajectory in understanding how language practices intersect with social hierarchies, identity formation, and inclusion. Her work often employs ethnographic methods to explore how individuals and communities negotiate linguistic belonging, particularly in marginalized or transitional linguistic contexts such as new speakers of Welsh or migrant families in urban Britain.
Dr. Selleck completed her PhD at Cardiff University with funding from the ESRC, which laid the foundation for her interdisciplinary approach. While no formal list of students or grants is provided, she welcomes PhD applications in sociolinguistics, indicating active supervision interests.
