Colin Flynn is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Applied Linguistics at Trinity College Dublin (TCD), where he conducts research on the psychological and social aspects of language learning and bilingualism. He is particularly focused on minority languages such as Irish, examining motivation, cultural awareness, metalinguistic knowledge, language attitudes, code-switching, and translanguaging. He serves as the TCD partner on the HEA-funded Gender Equality in Language Studies (GELS) project.
His research lies at the intersection of applied linguistics and educational psychology, emphasizing how learner psychology interacts with teaching methods and learning contexts. Much of his work explores identity, affect, and engagement in minority language education settings.
Dr. Flynn is also actively involved in institutional efforts toward equity and inclusion, serving on the Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Committee at Trinity College Dublin.
While no publications or student supervision details are listed in the provided text, his scholarly profile reflects a strong commitment to advancing inclusive and psychologically informed approaches to language education, especially in under-resourced linguistic communities.
