His research interests include storytelling and antenarrative theory and their applications to community-based writing. He recently co-authored an article for a special issue of 'Communication Design Quarterly' on community-engaged research.

Drawing on a case study of an Israeli start-up company, this article maps out a theoretical and methodological framework for linking local multilingual and multimodal literacy practices to wider institutional, cultural, and global contexts. Central to this framework is attention to the linking of tools, texts, and people distributed across space-time. This process foregrounds the complex mediation of activity and the dynamic pathways shaping the ways English is being reassembled in local-global ecologies.
