As this new academic year begins, I’m excited to share a new publication - Concerted Community Engagement: Refugee Education and Parents’ Daily Acts of Resistance. It is open access and available here: mdpi.com/2076-0760/13/9/440
Hello, all! I am preparing my spring semester syllabus and am looking for empirical work on education and climate change / climate disaster. I'd appreciate your suggestions -- and feel free to self-promote!
Excited to share my first publications as an #assistantprofessor @fsu_elps & @lsifsu. Grateful for all the support and excited for the adventure ahead!

In this paper, I engage a desire-based research framework to understand how refugee parents support their children’s futures. I present Concerted Community Engagement, a new way of understanding refugee parents’ agentic work to shape their children’s schooling.

🚨 New pub alert 🚨 Teachers are the bedrock of a community. I’m excited to share my newest article about #teachers of #refugees in the International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism. doi.org/10.1080/13670050.202…
Classroom teachers stay w/in the constraints imposed by school leaders, and a spectrum of approaches emerges: some teachers require English and children face punishment for using other languages.
Other teachers work to embrace multilingualism and all that #newcomers bring—quietly, w/o upsetting monolingual expectations. DM me if you’d like a copy! doi.org/10.1080/13670050.202…

Having been a high school teacher myself, @Tim_Walz 's reference to the hope and optimism of the first day of school is bringing tears to my eyes. Let's get this done! #KamalaHarris2024
It is the honor of a lifetime to join @kamalaharris in this campaign.
I’m all in.
Vice President Harris is showing us the politics of what’s possible. It reminds me a bit of the first day of school.
So, let’s get this done, folks! Join us. secure.actblue.com/donate/so…

Are refugee children learning in Kenya? 🇰🇪
Researchers compares literacy outcomes in English and Kiswahili in refugee children with those Kenyan nationals outside the camps.

Finally, the focus right now is on the World Bank.
But the lion's share of the blame for this tragedy clearly belongs to Bridge International Academies. They have placed their own commercial interests over protecting children before. They'll likely do it again.

If not for this investigation, many would still be celebrating this school network as transformative.
How many such cases of wrongdoing remain unknown? Where is the accountability for transnational institutions that run “development initiatives” in LMICs? Who is monitoring them?
❗️❗️After two in depth investigations by The Intercept into a World Bank cover-up a child sex abuse scandal at a for profit school network in Africa, the World Bank has finally acknowledged wrongdoing.
WB head Ajay Banga in an email to staff apologized to the victims and promised an independent investigation.
This comes after the bank and its client spent the last year denigrating and dismissing our reporting.
