Assistant Professor, Curriculum and Instruction My broad research interests include equity and the literacy education of culturally and linguistically diverse students, biliteracy in multilingual classrooms, and student use of cultural and linguistic resources in language arts classrooms. An additional focus of mine is the development of cross-cultural understandings by teachers and students in multicultural settings.
