About
I am a University Fellow in Michigan State University's Curriculum, Instruction, and Teacher Education [CITE] program through the College of Education.
Prior to coming to Michigan State, I was an Elementary school teacher and coordinator in building pre-service training for new teachers in several alternative route teacher education licensure programs.
In terms of research and inquiry, I am primarily interested in literacy and language as a mode and object of identity performance. As my current research is more humanities oriented, I am interested in looking at student identity through the lens of ethnography, oral narrative, gender and sexuality studies, and performance theory.
My work asks questions such as, In what ways do students identify/dis-identify with parts of their racial, cultural, ethnic, or sexual identity in navigating and re-negotiating their perception of self in the literacy classroom and practice of school? How do students 'write' themselves and 'perform' this self in the context of multiculturalism and globalization? How is disidentification embedded in curricular and rhetorical thought? In what ways can we as educators engage and learn from the performance of disidentification as a means to address issues of critical praxis and pedagogy?
