Biography
I am Associate Professor in Applied Linguistics at the Department of Culture, Communication and Media in UCL Institute of Education (UK). I received my PhD. in Socio- and Applied Linguistics from the Autonomous University of Madrid (Spain), followed by a postdoctoral fellowship at King’s College London (2010-2011) and The University of Hong Kong (2011-2012). I have worked as Assistant Professor at The University of Hong Kong (2012-2015) where I have also been appointed Honorary Associate Professor in the Faculty of Education (2016-2017).
My research on language ideology, social interaction and institutions has been published in the form of an authored book in Routledge Critical Series in Multilingualism (2013). Other work has been published in international journals within the fields of socio and applied linguistics such as Journal of Language, Identity and Education (2011), Pragmatics (2011), Linguistics and Education (2012), Spanish in Context (2012), International Journal of Multilingualism (2014), Pedagogies: An International Journal (2015), Language Policy (2015), AILA Review (2016) or Language and Intercultural Communication (2018).
I have edited Special Issues in International Journal of Multilingualism (2014), Language Policy (2015) and AILA Review (2016), as well as the Oxford Handbook of Language Policy and Planning (2018) in co-editorship with James W. Tollefson. I am also co-Editor for Language, Culture and Society (John Benjamins) and Language Policy journal (Springer).
Research Summary
I am a sociolinguist interested in language, communication and political economy. My past research projects involved the ethnographic and sociolinguistic study of mobility and migration, shifting politics of national identity, institutional neoliberalization, and commodification of language and culture, in the contexts of Madrid, London, Mainland China and Hong Kong. Lately, my focus has shifted towards a closer exploration of trajectories of social actors as they navigate professional fields and labor markets under the conditions of late capitalism.
Some of my forthcoming and latest publications include:
Pérez-Milans, M. & Soto, C. (under contract). Language, ethnicity, and the politics of struggle: A critical ethnography of activism. Bristol: Multilingual Matters.
Pérez-Milans, M. (in press). Futures, imagined cities and emerging markets: The semiotic production of professional selves. Social Semiotics.
