​I am a Minneapolis-based teacher educator and education researcher in the social and cultural contexts of education.

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 writing and speaking to local and national audiences on topics related to culturally relevant pedagogy/culturally sustaining pedagogy and racial consciousness. ​

Thank you for visiting my site to learn about my current and upcoming work. You are welcome to email me with questions or comments, as well as with requests for workshops and presentations. Annie Mason, Ph.D. mason@umn.edu
