About Jasmine Bylund
Research interests
My research interests concern multilingualism in society and school from a sociolinguistic perspective with a focus on language use, language ideologies and education. I have a particular interest in educational sociological aspects of language and education as well as didactic dimensions of multilingualism in educational contexts in relation to language, power and social justice.
In December 2022, I defended my thesis Everyday Language Practices and the Interplay of Ideologies, Investment and Identities – Language Use and Dispositions among Young Adolescents in Multilingual Urban Settings. https://gupea.ub.gu.se/handle/2077/73698 The thesis explored young people's language use outside of school and how patterns in daily language use and exposure interact with investment in language, language ideologies and the shaping of young people's identities. The study was conducted between 2019–2021 with young people in grades six and seven at schools located in multilingual and segregated areas in Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö.
I am currently involved in the research project Young Swedes and English, led by Liss Kerstin Sylvén (IPS) and Pia Williams (IPKL). https://www.vr.se/swecris.html#/project/2021-04389_VR

I am also the course coordinator for the first teacher training course within the Complementary Education for Foreign Teachers in the VAL/ULV Programme and teach learning perspectives in the VAL/ULV course Basic professional knowledge.
