Projects

Exploring the Advocacy and Mentoring Roles of Ethnic Minority Teachers in Facilitating University Pathways in Hong Kong
This project explores how Hong Kong-born EM teachers support EM students’ access to university through informal mentorship and advocacy. It aims to understand how these teachers navigate roles beyond instruction (e.g., guiding students through academic, financial, and cultural barriers) and how they make meaning of this work emotionally and professionally. The study also seeks to inform policy by highlighting the often-invisible labor of EM educators in advancing educational equity.

Beyond Proficiency: Belonging and Academic Success of Adolescent Multilingual Students in Hong Kong’s English-Medium Public Schools
My project will focus on the educational trajectories of adolescent multilingual students, who have high proficiency in English and come from immigrant backgrounds in high schools in Hong Kong, with a particular emphasis on the challenges they face due to their racial identity, home language, and the sociopolitical climate in their schools. I will explore how these students navigate their educational pathways, examining factors such as language proficiency, language ideologies, school policies, teacher support, and peer relationships. I will also investigate how these factors influence their sense of self and their educational outcomes. By understanding the lived experiences of these students from their own perspectives as well as their teachers’, my project aims to contribute to a more inclusive educational framework that addresses the unique needs of immigrant adolescents in Hong Kong’s public schools.
