I’m Alexandra. I’m originally from Dublin, Ireland, but I am now living in València, Spain. Motivated by my experiences as a speaker of Gaeilge (Irish) and my studies of World Languages (Cork) and Linguistic Anthropology (Maynooth), I am currently completing a PhD in Social Sciences at the University of València focusing on the experiences of minoritised language speakers in urban settings. I am passionate about supporting people of all backgrounds to connect with their languages.

Feel free to book a mentoring meeting with me to discuss any aspect of language revitalisation that interests you. I am particularly interested in sharing ideas across language communities, the emotional and identity work involved in (re)connecting to our languages and supporting language revitalisation in cities. I look forward to hearing from you!
