Bio
My research primarily focuses on developing anti-racist writing classrooms through curricular and pedagogical strategies that address the inherent racist, classist, and oppressive elements of orthodox American thinking. Additionally, I aim to fill a gap in the literature by examining how the intersection of antiracist teaching practices, contemporary events, and digital literacy influences and shapes students' writing.
