About
My research, theoretically and methodologically informed by linguistic anthropology, is centered in educational contexts and examines how languages, social interaction, and institutions influence an individual’s educational trajectory. Currently, I am investigating how multilingual adolescent students’ communicative repertoires are shaped by their mass-mediated experiences inside and outside classrooms and the effects those experiences and ways of speaking have on social relations and learning.
My research on students and teaching in multiple contexts, ranging from a Los Angeles alternative school, to rural elementary schools in Georgia, to bilingual teacher education, to my own experiences as a teacher, all inform my most recent book, Classroom Discourse Analysis: A Tool for Critical Reflection (Hampton, 2009).
