Leigh Oakes is Professor of French and Linguistics at Queen Mary University of London. His research focuses on language policy and planning, language and national identity, and language attitudes and ideologies, especially in the contexts of Quebec, France and Sweden.

His publications include Normative Language Policy: Ethics, Politics, Principles (with Yael Peled, 2018), Language, Citizenship and Identity in Quebec (with Jane Warren, 2007) and Language and National Identity: Comparing France and Sweden (2001).
