I am a Minneapolis-based teacher educator and education researcher in the social and cultural contexts of education. I received a Ph.D in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Minnesota, an M.Ed in elementary education from the University of Minnesota, and a B.A. in sociology from Grinnell College. My teaching experience ranges from early childhood to graduate school, including third graders in Guatemala, high school students in Minneapolis, and Head Start teachers on a Northern Minnesota Native American reservation.
Currently, I am the Program Director of Elementary Teacher Education at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. I work primarily with preservice teachers to understand how their personal identities impact their work with students, and I encourage all of my students to develop orientations toward social justice. I lead the Elementary Teacher Education program, where we are working to reduce discriminatory barriers to teacher licensure and to bring an intersectional and race-conscious framework to curriculum and instruction. My work also involves speaking to local and national audiences on topics related to culturally relevant pedagogy/culturally sustaining pedagogy and racial identity.
