Biography

Martin Rojo earned her BA and PhD degrees at the Universidad de Valladolid, Spain.[2] She specializes in sociolinguistics and she has published research focusing on multilingualism in areas that include traditional education and related activities, especially as it affects Hispanic populations.[1][3] Recently she has begun studying the ways by which people who engage in protest movements can transform urban areas.[1] Her published research studies, which have appeared in national and international journals, focus on multilingualism outside traditional educational arenas.[3]
