She has primarily focused on multilingual practices outside of educational settings in East Africa and Hawai\u02bbi. She has used discourse analytic, ethnographic, and qualitative approaches to investigate identities, intercultural communication, ideologies, and the relationship between language and place. Dr. Higgins strives to be a sociolinguist for the &#8220;real world&#8221; and to engage in scholarship that will effect positive change in society. Her current projects include a <a href=\"https:\/\/hi-signs.net\">crowd-sourced, citizen science linguistic landscape<\/a> study, a <a href=\"https:\/\/uhmmlmc.weebly.com\/\">collaborative redesign<\/a> of the linguistic and semiotic landscape of the University of Hawai\u02bbi at M\u0101noa&#8217;s campus, with attention to Hawaiian history, language, culture, and geography, and a collaboration with UHM film students to produce short films that feature Pidgin, the creole language of Hawai\u02bbi. Dr. Higgins is the Director of the Charlene Junko Sato Center for Pidgin, Creole, and Dialect Studies.<\/p>\r\n<p><b>Areas of expertise:<\/b><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li aria-level=\"1\">sociolinguistics<\/li>\r\n<li aria-level=\"1\">ethnographic discourse analysis<\/li>\r\n<li aria-level=\"1\">multilingualism<\/li>\r\n<li aria-level=\"1\">language and identity<\/li>\r\n<li aria-level=\"1\">family language policy<\/li>\r\n<li aria-level=\"1\">language and globalization<\/li>\r\n<li aria-level=\"1\">community-based, participatory research<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><b>Selected Publications:<\/b><\/p>\r\n<p>Higgins, C.
