Iris Guske is the Director of the Kempten School of Translation and Interpreting Studies, with applied linguistics at the heart of her teaching and professional activities. She has authored coursebooks for distance-learning students of English at all levels and recently written Celebrating Saussure's 150th and Halliday's 80th Birthday: Meaning-Making in the First and the Last Quarter of the 20th Century. The bulk of her published research, however, reflects her interest in socio- and psycholinguistics and developmental psychology, e.g. Psycho- and Sociolinguistic Challenges Impacting on Immigrant Adolescents' Identity Formation, Characteristics of the Police Occupational Culture and their Implications for the Everyday Experience and Well-Being of Minority Officers, and Zwischen Anpassung und Abschottung. She is a founding member of the Worldwide Forum on Education and Culture and has lately co-edited the book Education Landscapes in the 21st Century: Cross-Cultural Challenges and Multi-Disciplinary Perspectives with contributions from scholars in the fields of language and literacy education as well as media, communication and (inter-) cultural studies from all five continents.
