Methods & Learning Spaces
My work draws on qualitative, interpretive, and multimodal approaches attentive to how meaning is made in classrooms, communities, popular culture, and public discourse. The scholarship is strongest when it keeps educational questions tied to the social worlds in which learners actually live.
Across these settings, my research stays close to how learners interpret, remix, and question the worlds around them rather than treating literacy as a detached technical skill.
My inquiry extends across children's and youths' perceptions and experiences, multimodal authorship, comics, immigrant literacies, and humor as a form of critique, imagination, and social consciousness in educational life.
