Author Biographies

  • Joan Pujolar, Universitat Oberta de Catalunya

    Joan Pujolar received his PhD from Lancaster University in 1995. He is currently Professor of Sociolinguistics at the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya. He was vice-chair of the COST Network on ‘New Speakers in a Multilingual Europe’ (2013–2017). His research focuses on how language use is mobilized in the construction of identities and its implications for access to symbolic and economic resources. He has conducted research on the use of Catalan amongst young people, immigrants and in the economic sector, particularly in tourism and heritage contexts, as well as on multilingualism and gender. He now leads a project on ‘new speakers’ and the experience of people who ordinarily speak a language that is not their native one.

  • Bernadette O’Rourke, University of Glasgow

    Bernadette O’Rourke received her PhD in Sociolinguistics from Dublin City University in 2005 and is currently Professor of Sociolinguistics and Hispanic Studies at the University of Glasgow. Her research focuses on the dynamics of multilingual societies, language revitalization in minoritized languages, ethnography of resistance, language ideologies and language activism. She has done fieldwork in Galicia (Spain), Ireland, Gaelic Scotland and the Faroes. Since 2011, she has been examining the experiences of ‘new speakers’ of minority languages (so-called ‘non-native’ speakers who acquire a language outside of the home). She was chair of the COST Network on ‘New Speakers in a Multilingual Europe’ (2013–2017). Her latest book is New Speakers of Irish in a Global Context, co-authored with John Walsh (2020, Routledge).
