My research and scholarly work centers on understanding and improving schooling for immigrants, English language learners’ (ELL), and underrepresented groups, in the United States and abroad. It falls into two broad categories. The first is the professional identities of teachers of immigrant students, their preparation, as well as their teaching and learning environments. The second is how international and global education is practiced in the U.S. and abroad. The goal of my work is to understand how we can make instruction for culturally and linguistically diverse students and their teachers more equitable and valuable, nationally and globally. As I work on these questions, I am also engaged in broadening theoretical frameworks, mainly to bridge understandings of identity which are grounded in ‘reality’ and those which follow a poststructuralist vein and question that ‘reality’.
