Presently, I am at the dissertation stage of my doctoral program in
Reading, Writing, and Literacy in the Graduate School of Education,
University of Pennsylvania. I am also the coordinator for a program for
pregnant teens.

I am particularly interested in gender, race, and class in education.
While I feel that I have done quite a bit of reading in the first two areas,
the third is not very rich in materials at present. I am interested in
the work of Patti Lather, McLaren, Giroux, Anyon - in other words,
critical and feminist pedagogy. I am equally interested in the
implications of literature based curriculum and teacher inquiry.

I look forward to participating on this list as well as lurking.
