Annaliina Gynne

Annaliina Gynne is a doctoral candidate in Didactics/Education with focus on National Minorities at the School of Education, Culture and Communication, Mälardalen University.

The working title of her research project is "Doing Identity in and through Multilingual Literacy Practices". The aim of the research, which started in 2009, is to shed light on, gain greater understanding of and analyze connections between multilingual children’s usage of their linguistic and literary resources and their identity positioning in terms of multilingualism and multiculturalism. Within the project, a group of multilingual children in ages 11-13 are followed in their bilingual school, as well as other arenas outside the school and in the virtual sphere.
