I teach education courses in the Division of Education at the University of Minnesota,
Morris focusing on reading methods, language arts, children's literature, and foundations of education.

I received my Ph.D. from Penn State
University in Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis in Literacy and Language.
I joined the faculty in the Division of
Education at the University of Minnesota,
Morris in the fall of 2003.

My research interests lie in the areas of critical
pedagogy and literacy and language
development including literacy instruction
as supported by computer technology;
social, historical, and cultural constructions of literacy; and applications, as well as
implications of literacy practices and policies.
