Dr. Beatrice Zuaro

Biography

Beatrice Zuaro is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Centre for Internationalisation and Parallel Language Use (CIP) at the University of Copenhagen. Her research investigates how language reflects and reshapes the epistemic, political, and institutional conditions of knowledge production. She is primarily focused on applied linguistics, language policy, and sociolinguistics, while also exploring the interdisciplinary overlap with higher education studies and political science. Beatrice has extensively studied the internationalization of higher education and English-medium instruction (EMI) across various contexts. Her analyses span both micro-level aspects, such as classroom practices and individual perceptions, and macro-level considerations, including social discourses and governance frameworks. She is committed to technological and interdisciplinary innovation within applied linguistics and values international collaboration in her research. As a founding convenor of the EMI special interest group for the British Association for Applied Linguistics, Beatrice has authored and reviewed works for prestigious journals. Her academic journey includes positions as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Open University in the UK, a lecturer at the University of Roma Tre in Italy, and a doctoral student at Stockholm University in Sweden.
