Lisa Lim is Associate Professor in the School of Education at Curtin University in Perth, having held positions in Singapore, Amsterdam, Hong Kong (including as Head of School, 2016-2018), and Sydney (including as Chair of Dept, 2019-2020). Her interests centre around contact dynamics in New – especially Asian – Englishes, in multilingual ecologies; issues of language shift, endangerment, and postvernacular vitality in minority and endangered language communities; and the sociolinguistics of globalisation, with attention to migration and mobility, computer-mediated communication, and urban linguistic diversity, and their impact on contact dynamics. She has published widely -- including Languages in Contact (CUP 2016) -- and given numerous invited keynote lectures on these topics. She is a regular columnist, with a fortnightly ‘Language Matters’ column for Hong Kong’s South China Morning Post’s Sunday Post Magazine. She is also a consultant to the Oxford English Dictionary for Singapore English and Hong Kong English.
