<strong>Scholarship</strong><br />
Why are you interested in the teaching?<br />
I am interested in understanding and creating spaces <strong>of</strong><br />
opportunity for diverse students in higher education.<br />
Influenced by scholars in New Literacy Studies, Multimodal<br />
Composition, and Indigenous Studies, I particularly want to<br />
understand how language policies and ideologies shape<br />
educational opportunities and how the identities students and<br />
instructors bring to the classroom impact academic<br />
achievement. How, for instance, do language policies and<br />
ideologies affect access to university systems? How do they<br />
impact the success <strong>of</strong> students – especially first-generation<br />
college students – who enter into those systems?<br />
