I am a PhD Candidate in Education (Curriculum) at Western University. My research interests are situated within literacy education, specifically multiliteracies (Kalantzis & Cope, 2012; New London Group, 1996) and multimodal literacy (Jewitt & Kress, 2003). My current research focus is on multiliteracies pedagogies in formal teacher professional learning and teacher education and their perceptions of how multiliteracies shapes their own language and literacy pedagogy. My research is being supervised by Dr. Rachel Heydon and Dr. Zheng Zhang.
My previous research, supervised by Dr. Rosamund Stooke, focused on multimodal literacy within a multiliteracies framework for the creation of identity texts in an intermediate (grades 7 & 8) classroom. As an Ontario certified teacher (K-12) with a focus on, and experience in, intermediate education (ages 12-14), I am keen to understand how early adolescent students engage with literacy in a variety of modes to represent and communicate in purposeful ways.
