Assistant Professor of Teaching in Language & Literacy Education , University of British Columbia

Assistant Professor of Teaching in Language & Literacy Education , University of British Columbia I just began working as an Assistant Professor of Teaching with the Department of Language & Literacy Education at The University of British Columbia this year. Prior to taking on this position, I was the first Banting-funded postdoctoral fellow to conduct my research with the Faculty of Education at Simon Fraser University. I also hold two masters degrees (in English literature and literacy education), as well as a BAH in English and a Bachelor of Education. My research interests include: adolescent literacies; arts-based research; English literature education; feminist pedagogies; teacher and teacher librarian education; representations of youth in popular culture; rape culture; and young adult (YA) trauma literature. All these foci are deeply informed by my previous career as a secondary English teacher and I aim for my scholarship, which includes 39 refereed publications, to speak to many audiences.
