Kendall A. King's research focuses on multilingualism, bilingual education, and language policy, with particular attention to family language policy (how families decide which languages to use and pass on to children), heritage and indigenous language revitalization, and the ideologies and politics shaping language education. This work draws on case studies from settings including the Andes, Chinese cities, and multilingual families in the US, examining how language practices intersect with identity, policy, and social and economic forces. Note: the bibliographic record also includes several unrelated publications on coastal geology and saltmarsh sedimentation, which appear to be a data mismatch rather than part of this PI's core research.
