Professor
Faculty of Education

Areas of interest

Dr. Bullock's research focuses on teacher education and professional learning in plurilingual and multicultural contexts. She examines how teachers and teacher educators develop, enact, and transform their practices through classroom interactions, pedagogical decision-making, and reflective inquiry. Grounded in self-study methodology and arts-based research, her work explores the dynamic relationship between professional knowledge and practice, with particular attention to how educators make sense of and respond to the complexities of teaching and learning.

Drawing on the perspectives of la didactique du plurilinguisme and the conceptual lenses of agir enseignant and theories of practice, She investigates how professional knowledge is mobilized in action and how educators negotiate their professional and personal identities across diverse educational settings. Through this research, she seeks to deepen understanding of plurilingual pedagogies, teacher learning, and the evolving practices of teachers and teacher educators in increasingly diverse learning communities.

Une partie de les recherches du Dr. Bullock est conduite en fran癟ais. En tant que locutrice bilingue, le rapport la langue et aux langues est au cur de sa r矇flexion. Dans le cadre de ses travaux sur la formation des enseignant.e.s, elle analyse notamment la mani癡re dont les langues constitutives des r矇pertoires plurilingues contribuent la m矇diation communicative, la construction du sens ainsi qu l矇laboration des identit矇s linguistiques, culturelles et professionnelles.

Biography

Within the Faculty of Education, at 911勛圖 (Canada), I work with pre-service and in-service teachers in French Education at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels. I have been trained as a French as a Second/Foreign Language Teacher and my foundational educational experiences were developed within la didactique du plurilinguisme in France.

My scholarship is situated primarily within Plurilingual Education and examines plurilingual practices and attitudes to multilingualism in families, schools and communities, as well as addressing issues relevant to teacher training and professional development in our rapidly expending world.

Une partie de ma recherche est conduite en fran癟ais. En tant que locutrice bilingue, le rapport la langue et aux langues en g矇n矇ral, est au coeur de ma r矇flexion. Je m'attache ainsi examiner la fa癟on dont les langues qui composent les r矇pertoires plurilingues participent la m矇diation communicative et sociale pour construire et donner du sens aux identit矇s individuelles (que celles-ci soient linguistiques, culturelles, ou professionnelles).
