Nadja Tadic is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Linguistics at Georgetown University and currently serves as Director of Undergraduate Studies. Her research focuses on discourse analysis in adult second language classrooms, examining how inclusion/exclusion dynamics and systemic inequities manifest in language education settings. She co-edited the book Critical conversation analysis: Inequality and injustice in talk-in-interaction, and her work appears in journals like Applied Linguistics and Language in Society.
Her academic appointment is within the College of Arts and Sciences, emphasizing interdisciplinary approaches to sociolinguistics. Dr. Tadic's research integrates conversation analysis with critical pedagogy, exploring how educators and learners collaboratively construct (and sometimes challenge) exclusionary ideologies through interactional practices. She has conducted video-based studies on topic shifts, raciolinguistic ideologies, and teacher-student rapport-building in multilingual classrooms.
Her recent work (2023–2025) extends into digital spaces, investigating online language teacher education and webinar interaction patterns. Earlier studies (2016–2020) highlighted themes such as learner emotional engagement, multimodal stance signaling, and classroom rapport management. While no specific grants or awards are noted in the provided materials, her publications reflect sustained engagement with critical perspectives in applied linguistics.
Dr. Tadic has mentored numerous scholars through her editorial work and interview-based discussions with prominent figures in the field, including Dr. Richard Donato and Dr. Bambi Schieffelin. Her research lab focuses on intersectional language practices, though specific team collaborations remain unspecified in the source text.
