Research Discipline/Bio
I am passionate about utilizing my expertise in dual language education and teacher training to create continuous educational opportunities that will allow current and preservice DLBE teachers to develop more equitable classrooms. My current research interests focus on the intersections between dual language education, identity development, and constructions of race within Latine communities.
My research interests include: bi/multilingual education, teacher education, curriculum and instruction, Latine identity development, Latin American educational theory, LatCrit, Critical Race Theory, Figured Worlds Theory and CHAT. I have experience in the following methods: interviews, focus groups, surveys, observations, and multimodal visual methods.
