About
I am a documentary filmmaker, scriptwriter, and author of several educational works. My research interests lie in the field of pedagogy, arts, and entertainment, as well as second language didactics, focused on a target audience of migrant children within a European context, specifically in Germany.
I am completing a dual doctorate in collaboration with the Experice laboratory at the University Paris 8, in partnership with the University of Karlsruhe in Germany. Additionally, I am affiliated as a researcher at the Doctoral College of Haut-Rhin.
Responsabilities
I am currently a teacher of German as a foreign language in two secondary schools in Munich, where I am conducting my research.

Description: This issue explores the challenges faced by contemporary societies marked by global migrations and the urgent need to accommodate refugees fleeing war-torn countries. It examines the sociolinguistic and sociocultural dimensions of these displacements, highlighting language and educational practices in unequal multilingual contexts, focusing on language autobiographies as a tool for the valorization and awareness of the psycho-social stakes of languages.
