Research explores how pedagogical approaches like translingual practices and multiethnography can address linguistic inequities in academic publishing. His work advocates for critical support of plurilingual scholars navigating English-dominated knowledge systems.
Publications investigate EAP practitioner experiences, ERPP course efficacy, and Canadian language program landscapes. Recent work employs participatory methods to examine power dynamics in language education.
Corcoran supervises graduate research and contributes to academic communities through editorial roles. His scholarship promotes equity-oriented pedagogies that validate multilingual resources in academic writing.
