In my work I value teaching and learning for civic engagement, active citizenship, and social justice in and related to knowledge, practices, and discourses of social studies education, its disciplines, and through community resources.<\/p>\n<p>In my teaching and research I focus on how knowledge, skills, discourses, and dispositions are leveraged for a citizenship and justice orientation in the fields of social studies education, teacher education, teacher research, and democratic theory in education. In particular, I am concerned with how teachers and students engage in substantive discourse and meaningful action related to relevant social, political, or economic issues affecting their communities.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Professional Experience<\/h2>\n<p>Professor of the Practice of Social Studies Education (2024-Present),\u00a0Vanderbilt University, Peabody College of Education and Human Development, Department of Teaching and Learning<\/p>\n<p>Associate\u00a0Professor of the Practice of Social Studies Education (2018-2024),\u00a0Vanderbilt University, Peabody College of Education and Human Development, Department of Teaching and Learning<\/p>\n<p>Director of Learning and Design M.Ed.
