Associate Professor in Curriculum and Instruction Blanca Caldas recently published, “Critical Ethnography, Language, Race/ism and Education,” from Channel View Publications/Multilingual Matters in the UK with co-editor Stephen May.

This book provides a contemporary overview of work in critical ethnography that focuses on language and race/ism in education. The studies in the book explore the racialized construction, positioning and experiences of bi/multilingual students, and their implications for educational policy, pedagogy, and practice.

Caldas’s research focuses on bilingual education and teacher preparation, and minoritized language practices.
